Word: Insert two tables side by side
Inserting two tables side by side in Word sounds easy, but it doesn't work easily. We'll show you a trick that will still work.
Word: Insert several tables side by side
There are several ways to arrange two tables side by side. As of Word 2013, you can simply insert the tables one below the other and then slide them side by side. In other versions you have to be creative:
- First, insert a table with two columns and one row. This table will disappear later.
- Now insert the two correct tables into the left and right column of the table you just created. So you have the tables side by side in a large table (see photo).
- Click on the large table and switch to the "Start" tab in the top left. Under the "Paragraph" category you will find the "Frame" option.
- If you select "No frame", the large table becomes invisible. Nevertheless, the two correct tables remain side by side.
