MS Office Forum / Word / Tables / May 2008How to join two tables into one
A table became split into three when I selected and dragged and dropped rows within it in order to rearrange them. How do I rejoin these pieces? I read the entire online help, but there is nothing on this topic and what prevents two tables from being joined. I checked the properties of the two tables I'm trying to rejoin: they're identical, as far as I can tell, and there is no reason why they shouldn't be, as they came from the same table. Copying and pasting of rows is no cure either. I have never had this problem with WORD 2003, as I am now having with the 2007. If both tables have the "Text wrapping" set to "None" (in Table Properties), you should be able to delete the paragraph mark(s) between tables to merge them. To simplify the task, show nonprinting marks, including paragraph marks (¶), for example by clicking the ¶ button on the Home ribbon tab. If you are having problems getting the column widths to match, you can fix that by holding the Alt key while dragging the border (or gridline, if no borders are displayed) in place.

I'm now sorry that I have posted this same question in two different places, the other one being under the "Word/VBA General Questions" forum, "Making 2 Tables into 1 Table." You don't need to reply to this one and interested parties can continue the discussion over there. I have posted my reply to Stefan's suggestion over there. Thanks. > If both tables have the "Text wrapping" set to "None" (in Table Properties), > you should be able to delete the paragraph mark(s) between tables to merge [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > I have never had this problem with WORD 2003, as I am now having with the > > 2007. |
