Word Two Tables Side By Side

Jan 09, 2017 Probably the best method is to insert (not draw!) a table on each page where you want to arrange your tables. For example, if you want two tables side by side, create a two-column-by-one-row table. Make sure that for each table, in the Table Properties dialog, the text wrapping is set to None instead of Around. I am designing a form in MS Word 2003. I'm trying to place two tables next to each other, and having no luck at all. I've tried copying/pasting, moving and so on, but get awful-looking results. I'd love to be able to place tables next to each other, so that the form doesn't have so darn much empty space.
