Re: [libreoffice-users] side by side tables

 Yup.
 o Insert a Section.
 o In the section, choose the
 appropriate number of columns. This 
 applies with your section only, not the
 whole page or document.
 o Insert your table in the first
 section.
 o Insert a column break in order to
 move the insertion point to the 
 next column.
 o Insert your second table.
 o Etc.

 You can achieve some of this by
 judicial merging of table cells - in 
 this case cells within the one column
 of the table but not others, or 
 differently in different columns.
 
 I trust this helps.
