Unfortunately, changing the text wrapping in Table Properties Cell did not
fix the problem. The only way I found to join the two tables again was to
highlight one table, then highlight the other table while holding the ctl
key. With both tables highlighted, I right clicked and selected Table
Reformat. This turned the two tables back into one table, but all the
formatting was lost. So I ended up fudging it, adding new rows to one of the
tables and then pasting the info from the other table into the new rows.
Either way, this is a lot more time consuming that it was in Word 2000.
Bummer. I would greatly appreciate any other suggestions. I use tables in
Word a lot and this is going to drive me crazy.
