How do you create two tables next to each other in pages

Hello, PeterBries0807,

The current version of pages will allow two tables to be on the same line. You just have to click on the Format button, in the top-right corner of Pages (the paintbrush), click on the Arrange tab, then set Text Wrap to be None.

Inline Objects are limited to one per line…

Jerrold that is not true, you can have as many as you like, they merely have to fit on the line.

It is true however that 2 tables for some reason can not be on the same line. Just another of those Pages quirks.

Carolyne,

Inline Objects are limited to one per line, Floating objects can be posiitoned at will. So, you could change your tables to floating objects, using the Wrap Inspector or the Format Bar. However, if you don't want your tables to be floating objects, you have another route. You can first make both tables Floating and set them side-by-side, select them both at once and then Arrange > Group. Then change the grouped object to Inline.

Pay attention to the post dates. You responded to a post from 2011 that is an entirely different application (Pages '09), implementation, and solution response, than any release of Pages v5.

I can assure you that Peter knows how to use Pages v5.

Hi Daimaou and debrairl

Yes you can 👿.

Pages 6.0.5 on MacOS Sierra 10.12.1

Could you make a table with five columns and remove the lines and fills from the centre (third) column, as shown below?

Not an elegant solution, but might work depending on your needs.

Peter,

Thanks for the clarification.

Jerry

Thanks for the commendation Viking! 🙂

If I only I could bend Pages 5 to my will!

Perhaps he was updating the post in case someone Googles this same question because they do not know how to do this for the current version of Pages, like myself.
