Default Frustration With Placing Tables Adjacent To Each Other

Or you can divide that section of the document into two columns and put
a
table in each one.

Thank you so much Suzanne for your reply. I have seen your Work
knowledge demonstrated all over the WWW as I searched for help for this
problem.

I am having a heck of a time though despite what appears to be a simple
solution. I just can't seem to get the second table into the second
column.

I have my document with my initial (left hand table) table in it. It is
4 columns, 5 rows, 3.5" inches wide.

With the cursor placed on the empty line above above the table ...
[FORMAT] - Columns - Two. I uncheck "Equal column width", change width
and spacing settings for column 1 to 3.5 and 0 spacing (I want tables to
basically be unbroken).

Now this is where I get lost. How do I get to the second column to build
the table. I can't click anywhere to the right of the existing table,
where I would think the second column is.

If I build the second table below the first and enter empty line breaks
before it, table 2 scrolls down to the end of the page, at which time
then, table 1 ends up in the right column.

Augh!!! What must I being doing wrong??

Jenn
