If you're set on avoiding frames, this won't help, but to be honest I'd 
do it with each table in a separate frame. If you set the width and 
height of the frame to the minimum allowed and tick the "AutoSize" box 
for each, it will automatically adjust to the size of the table. Then 
anchor and position the frames as required.

There will be a blank paragraph after the table, which prevents the 
height of the frame from being reduced to only just fit the table. That 
can be removed by placing the cursor in the bottom right cell of the 
table and pressing Ctrl+Shift+Del.

By default, frames have a border and padding between the outside of the 
frame and its contents. You might want to remove those for this purpose.

Once one frame is set up as needed, it might be easier to copy and paste 
that as required rather than adding new frames and reformatting them.
