Tables should not be wrapped (and therefore should not be converted to
framed tables in Word 97) unless the user has so specified. But (a) it's all
too easy to nudge a table the least bit (using the table handle) in Print
Layout view, thereby making it wrapped (working in Normal view is therefore
safer), and (b) tables imported from the Web are an entirely different
animal.

I have found that this does not work in Word XP (so I assume 2003).

After Word 97 or 2000, tables now seem to be treated as separate floating
objects, and so do not form part of the normal document flow as they did
in
Word 97. This means that removing paragraphs does not work, and it feels
like a retrograde development. Is there any way of adjusting Word XP/2003
to
stop tables being treaded like floating elements, and go back to the more
intuitive Word 97 approach.

Also, converting tables from XP to 97 is a disaster, as they are all
inserted in Frames.

In general, removing any empty paragraphs between the tables should
suffice.
Make sure the tables are not wrapped (wrapping is set to None).
