It was a choice under "Edit" in 2003 and now it's GONE!! (boo...hoo,

I'm looking at a standard copy of Word 2003, and it does not have any
"Append Table" command in either the Edit menu or the Table menu. It may
have been supplied by third-party software or by someone who programmed a
special template for your company.

Exactly what do you want this command to do?

Jay,

You are SO RIGHT!!! It was in our grading program, Gradebook from Pinnacle
(which SHOULD have been named "Nadir," if you get my drift).

My intent was to take two tables made in Word (not formulae from Excel) to
combine into a 3rd Word document, by cutting & pasting one onto the end of
the other.

Thanks so much for all your help and knowledge!!!

IS there a way to do that same thing in word?

Thanks again--from a grateful, retired teacher!!
 
In Word, a table always has a paragraph mark just below the last row (you
can see it if you turn on nonprinting characters by clicking the ¶ button).
If you put the cursor just to the left of the paragraph mark below the first
table, and paste in the second table, they'll automatically become one
table.

Alternatively, if you paste the second table after the paragraph below the
first table, you should be able to delete the empty paragraph between the
tables to combine them that way.

If the tables have different column widths, combining the tables won't
automatically make them the same. It can sometimes be quite hard to get them
to match. One way is to convert the table to text, with columns separated by
tabs, and then convert back to a table.
