I had a 50 page, 2 column document that content was continually added to. It
had tables that kept getting thrown off- broken, cut, etc. Is there a secret
that I missed to keep them from doing this? Can they be separated from the
text in the document so they don't flow with the text? If I kept them as
separate files and added them to the final later, would that be the only
solution?

If you're saying you want the tables to be full-width, then yes, insert
Continuous section breaks around them and make their section single-column.
Or you could put a table in a text box or frame and wrap text around it.
