The issue with columns is that you fill one then the next. Consider them as
separate pages. To put tables in adjacent columns set the page layout to a
single column. Put the two tables, one below the other, occupying the left
side of the page. Select them both and set two columns. The two tables will
then sit side by side.

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??
