This article was previously published under Q178742 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.
