MORE INFORMATION
In WordPerfect, tables can be inserted back to back (one on top of the other) and still be separate tables until selected and merged together.

In Word, there is no way to exactly duplicate the look of back to back tables, except to merge the two tables. Word always shows a small space between the tables.

When you save the WordPerfect 6.x or 7.x file as WordPerfect 5.1 and then open it in Word, the hidden paragraph between the tables is removed and the tables are merged together.



SYMPTOMS
When you convert a WordPerfect 6.x or 7.x document containing two tables that are right above one another with no space between the tables (called "back to back" in WordPerfect), they appear in Word with a slight space between the two borders of the tables.



CAUSE
In the conversion process, Word duplicates the WordPerfect "back to back" feature by inserting a hidden paragraph mark between the two tables.

Additional query words: merge double line back-to-back
