[comp.sys.mac.apps] Side-by-side tables in Word 4.0

raymond@cosc.canterbury.ac.nz (R P Wilson ) (05/06/91)

Can someone enlighten me on the following problem:

I have two tables in word, one is less than half the colum width (single
column) and the other is wider than half the column width but together
they will fit within the column.

I want to make them sit side by side on the page. I have tried 2 columns
but this makes one of the tables waltz off the right margin (past the 1cm
laserwriter margin even). I then tried formating the tables side-by-side
and positioning the tables left and right. But it won't put them side by
side. I have tried all sorts of combinations but nothing seems to work.

I would be grateful if someone could explain how to do this (if it can be
done with tables). I have managed to get side-by-side paragraphs of normal
text before.

Thanks in advance,
			Raymond.

You could try just merging the two tables.  That should make it so
that you have one table, which fits in the column width.
