The Word Office program from Microsoft can work not only with ordinary text, but also with tables, providing extensive opportunities for their creation and editing. Here you can create really different tables, change them if necessary or save as a template for further use.
It is logical that the tables in this program may be more than one, and in some cases it may be necessary to combine them. In this article we will tell about how to connect two tables in the Word.
Lesson: How to make a table in word
Note: The instruction described below is applicable to all versions of the MS Word product. Using it, you can combine tables in Word 2007 - 2016, as well as in earlier versions of the program.
Combining tables
So, we have two similar tables that are required, what is called to connect with each other, and it can be done just a few clicks and clicks.
1. Fully highlight the second table (not its contents) by clicking on a small square in its upper right corner.
2. Cut this table by clicking "Ctrl + X" or button "Cut out" on the control panel in the group "Clipboard".
3. Install the outer cursor under the first table at the level of its first column.
4. Click "Ctrl + V" Or use the command "Insert".
5. The table will be added, and its columns and lines will be aligned in size, even if they differed before.
Note: If you have a string or column that is repeated in both tables (for example, a hat), highlight it and delete by pressing the key "Delete".
On this example, we showed how to connect two tables vertically, that is, placing one to another. You can also make a horizontal connection to the table.
1. Highlight the second table and cut it by pressing the appropriate key combination or the button on the control panel.
2. Install the cursor immediately behind the first table where it ends with the first line.
3. Insert the cut (second) table.
4. Both tables will be combined horizontally, if necessary, remove the duplicate string or column.
