I am using Microsoft Word in Microsoft Office 2003 for this project. I am
trying to get 3 'separated' tables across a page. It will be used for a list
of names (in 3
columns). I frequently need to add or remove names. I want to be able to
do this in each column without affecting the other columns. And yes, I want
the table effect so each column is outlined and I have the lines for the
names.

You can use Format | Columns to create three columns, then create a table in
each column. Column breaks added judiciously will preserve the column
content.

Or you could use one large table and set the borders only on the parts of
that table that represent the individual 'tables' and make the blank columns
narrower.

To Graham,
If I use one large table and after I remove a name from one column I find
that in order to then remove that blank row from that column it will also
remove the row from the other two columns, along with the names in those two
columns. Otherwise I have to copy and paste the names to close up the gap in
the column I am working in. What I want is to have three 'separate' tables
on one page and have the three table line up across the page next to each
other. Wish I could draw a picture for you but can not in here. I want
column 1, 2, & 3 to work independently of each other.

To Suzanne,
Thank you for your help. Your suggestion worked out just fine! What a
simple solution. I did not see your solution till I scrolled on Grahams and
there it was....it did not come up as a post by its self. I try to figure
things out myself but had no luck going into 'help' trying to get answers. I
am retired (not in the working/computer world) and I do not do a lot on the
computer except e-mail and Internet and when it comes to this stuff I get
lost in the maze of 'not able to find' solutions. I did check out your web
site and will look into it further later.
