There is no particular 'proper' way to see all the tables. Obviously, though, if you click on a table and choose Table Tools|Table Tayout>Select>Table, you can see where the boundary between two adjoining tables is.

The simplest way to avoid the splitting you're seeing is to make sure the source & destination tables have the same Table Style. If you need to append rows from a table having a different Table Style, you can change the Table Style of the pasted table after it's been pasted. It will then merge with the destination table.

No, my whole thread started from the fact that I wanted to copy/paste one row from table1 to table2 and both tables are the same style. However I got table3 with the strange Grid Table 3 Accent 12 Style! So you were able to do this but I missed something! The question is what?

.

If they differ, how can I open TableAutoFormat from ribbon?(I know it can be opened from "Reveal Formatting" pane)

Why would you need to do that when all those formatting commands are available on the ribbon?
