Thanks for reply; i have indeed used cell mreging to achieve tewuired formatting, but as for sections, that's given me something new to play around with. -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 26/9/18, Brian Barker <b.m.bar...@btinternet.com> wrote:

Is there a way to align tables horizontally (without >resorting to frames, which i tend to find are a right pain in the proverbials)? Yup. o Insert a Section. o In the section, choose the appropriate number of columns. This applies with your section only, not the whole page or document. o Insert your table in the first section. o Insert a column break in order to move the insertion point to the next column. o Insert your second table. o Etc.

You can achieve some of this by judicial merging of table cells - in this case cells within the one column of the table but not others, or differently in different columns. I trust this helps.
