How do I put separate tables on the same page?
(1) I want to put two or more separate tables, of different sizes, on the
same page and give each its own caption, in Word. It seems splitting tables, partly a way to do it maybe, can only be done horizontally, not vertically, so that is not an option if I want two or more tables side-by-side. Dragging one table to put next to another simply incorprates them. (2) How does one put blocks of text next to a table? Putting text into a 1x1 table and keeping or removing the border, then dragging, has the same effect as in (1). Any suggestions much appreciated. I have Microsoft Windows XP and Word 2005. Many thanks. |

How do I put separate tables on the same page?
Mr. Kenyon, thank you very much for your reply. How does one make these
'newspaper columns' though, for tables? I think I have done it for text. I can produce single tables via the Table-Insert-Table function, and this would present no problems, but now I want to put several of these, separately, each with different pieces of data in them, on the same page for comparison purposes. For instance, a narrow vertical table at the left, with two smaller horizontal tables to its right, one above the other, and then underneath that group a larger horizontal table. And simlarly on other pages, with different sizes and combinations. With best regards. "Charles Kenyon" wrote: You could put tables in newspaper columns I suppose.

How about using frames? The insert frame icon is, oddly enough,
located on the forms toobar. Click and draw a frame in each place you want a table to be an then insert a table in the frame. You can format the frames to be borderless if you like. |

I'm not clear what you've tried, but if you select Table Table Properties
Table tab and click on "Around" under "Text Wrapping" then the table can be moved as a graphic object and two can be placed side by side or however else you want. -- Enjoy, Tony "Experience Lacking" Experience wrote in message ...

How do I put separate tables on the same page?
I would try it by setting up the section for newspaper columns. Then insert
a table in one of the columns. Next after the table, insert a column break and your next table. I haven't tried this, I just believe it may do what you want. Again, personally, I would use a single table. I think it would be much easier. You can put a separator column without borders between your two "tables." You may want to take a look at the nested tables tutorial at http://addbalance.com/word/download.htm for ideas. In that, I show a Word 97-type table mimicking nested tables but still working in Word 97. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
