Please post again, with the correcteda technique to use for Make sure none of the tables are centered. They need to both be butted up to the left margin and it works fine — I use this feature all the time.

If you want to send me a document with the tables in it — I will check it and tell you how to make it work. Email to helen helenbradley. Thank you for knowing your stuff and enlightening the rest of us. It does not always work. Usually, as a general rule, this will work but not always.

I am still trying to find out why, but until then, I simply will have to keep adding a row to the bottom of the first table and keep pasting the top row of the second table into that bottom row.
