Default Combining Tables

I have 2 separate tables, I need to copy and paste the first few rows of one
table and paste them onto another, when I do this, Word still sees the tables
as 2 separate tables and there is a dark line separating them...it doesn't do
this all of the time...just enough to irritate me...can anyone help?

Default Combining Tables

You may want to make sure that, for both of the two tables, the "Text
wrapping" is set to "None" (on the Table tab of the Table Properties dialog
box) before copying and pasting.

To display the Table Properties dialog box: Right-click the table and then
click Table Properties from the context menu.

Make sure the top row of the pasted row isn't formatted as a heading row.

I checked both tables and the "text wrapping" is turned off...
