If it's the former, you'll need to:
• turn off any 'around' text wrapping;
• split the table wherever there's a disjunction of the alignments; and
• make sure all the split tables have the same alignment, non-wrap settings and indents.
Once you've done that, you can re-join them. To delete the intervening paragraphs between the tables so you can re-join them is no more difficult than selecting them and pressing Delete.

Thanks for the quick response.
I don't believe that this one was copied from another table, but I can't be 100% sure as I am working on several of these currently. The initial document was created from a blank table, and the text was copied from the Indesign document I am replicating. Usually when this issue happens, I find I need to start over from the beginning by creating a new table, and I copy the text from each individual cell's contents from the original document, but not the cells/rows themselves. I use the original document to check the row heights/spacing etc. and manually enter those into the new table.
The Text Wrap is turned off (it's turned off on all of these documents; when I turn it on, it doesn't flow into the 2 columns of the page. Don't know if there is a way to make it flow into the 2 columns with Text Wrap turned on)
My mistake on deleting the paragraph space; I am using a mac keyboard and the 'delete' key is really the 'backspace' key. If I use the other 'delete' key below the 'help' key, it works.
Saving the table to RTF did not seem to have any effect. I will try to see if splitting the table apart will help once this problem occurs. Thanks again.
