I have several tables:

1) How do I create tables so that they can be placed beside each other
on a Word document.

2)How can I copy/paste tables beside each other

In both instances I can only manage one above the other.
Any suggestions

Many Thanks

Hi Gunjani,

Format the page so that it has two columns.

How? Before you answer this, I have 7 tables of various sizes which can
fit on one page if they are placed besides each other as closely as
possible. I managed to get 4 of them onto the page side by side(copy and
paste). I dont know how I manged it, because when I tried it again it
doesn't work. They get nested into the table, or drop below it or adjoin
to it. But i want to place them in the gaps on the page so that all the
tables are on one page (the tables sizes are 4*3,4*6,13*3,9*3,17*17,13*
12,3*3)

In that case you're definitely going to have to wrap some of them (assuming
Word 2000 or above--in Word 97 you'd have to put them in text boxes).
