Default Duplicating a Table

Copy/paste the table. Make sure it is not set to automatically resize to

contents. Then delete the contents. This should preserve the number of
rows and columns and the widths of the columns. It will *not* preserve
the row height. If you need to do that (for printing only, to create a
blank form), you can instead change the font color to white). Otherwise
you'll have to manually adjust the row height for each row, which is
easier said than done.

Ah, the key here is copy using the corner cross and not sweep the entire
table for a copy. It carried the contents, but that's easy to delete.
The next question, for interest only, is how to I merge the two tables?
