paragraph that separates the two tables, it keeps it as two separate tables.
I would like it to be able to joing the two tables again.

When you delete the paragraph, do the tables move together but appear
to have a heavier border between them, as if each is contributing a
separate border? And moving the edges of the columns in one doesn't
move them in the other?

It's possible that one of the tables has been changed to floating
(like a text box), which is easy to do accidentally. Put the cursor in
each table in turn, go to Table Table Properties, and make sure the
text wrapping is set to None instead of Around.
