Default How do I create two vertically parallel but dissimilar tables?

As suggested by the other replies, there are two basic options:

1. If you want two tables side by side and the rows do not need to be (or
need not to be) the same height, then create a two-column section (Format |
Columns) and insert a table in each column.

2. If you want the rows to be the same, create a single table with an empty
column in the middle, applying borders (if desired) only to the filled
cells, leaving the center column without borders to create the appearance of
two separate tables.

I require these tables to be vertically parallel on the same page. They

are
different tables, as though in two columns.
