Default Duplicating a Table

Providing the tables have identical columns (both the number and width of
the columns), removing the break between the tables will merge them into a
single table. If any of the columns are a different width, aligning the
columns will make the tables merge.

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

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?
