How to Join Tables in Microsoft Word
- 1). Create your first table in Microsoft Word.
- 2). Insert your second table right under the first table.
- 3). Click on each table, and select "Layout" from the options at the top. Click "Properties" from the "Table" tab, verify "None" is selected under "Text Wrapping" and then click "OK."
- 4). Highlight any text between the tables, and press "Ctrl" and "X" at the same time to cut the text for now. The tables will not join if there is text between them.
- 5). Press "Ctrl," "Shift" and "8" simultaneously to show nonprinting marks. This allows you to see any paragraph marks between the tables.
- 6). Click before any paragraph marks between the tables, and press "Delete" on your keyboard. Once you remove all the paragraph marks, your tables will merge.
- 7). Place your cursor after the joined tables, and press "Ctrl" and "V" simultaneously to paste the text you cut back into the document.
