Split table horizontally into two or more tables in a Word documents

If you have two or more tables that you need to merge in MS Word, simply put the cursor in the blank space between them and press the Delete Key until the lower table comes up and it'll merge with the one on top. It worked for me with two identical tables. 2 tables side by side, with (or without) caption, without new packages: Just imbricate 2 tables! It is perfectly fine to have a table as a 'regular' entry of another table. The top level table has 2 columns and 2 rows. The top row is the caption, the bottom row contains the 'real' tables that you want.
