Placing Tables Side by Side
I want to place 4 tables side by side on a Landscape page, with a small space
between them. I made the first table. I made the second table and moved it to the right of the first one. Then I made the third table - but when I moved it, it became a part of the second table. It will not let me place it to the right of the second table, it insists on becoming a part of the second table (it stuffs itself into the first cell). I don't understand why the second table did fine, but the third one keeps doing this. |

I'd either create a table layout for the whole thing (you know, a 7 column table on the outside, 4 columns for the 4 tables and 3 for the dividers), or insert 4 tables below each other, divided by an empty paragraph (otherwise they _will_ join up) and then use Word's column feature.

Placing Tables Side by Side
I've never tried this because I'm leery of nesting, but theoretically you
could create the four tables and nest them in the four cells of a 2x2 table. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Robert M.
