Side by Side Tables

In order to place two tables side by side in your document, the tables need to be relatively small.
If the tables are larger, use the Landscape Orientation for the size of the paper.

Insert your tables one above the other; reduce the size of the tables to fit the page width.

Select both tables
Go to Page Layout ribbon tab / Page Setup group
Click Columns arrow and select 2



The two columns might be a little uneven because of space between the tables; deleted the space and the top of the second table. Tables should be side by side

Adjust the tables to fit the size of the paper.
