I have a simple table filled with data. I would like to duplicate (#
rows & columns, and the width of columns) the table w/o the data. Word
2007. How is that done?

Copy/paste the table. Make sure it is not set to automatically resize to fit
contents. Then delete the contents. This should preserve the number of rows
and columns and the widths of the columns. It will *not* preserve the row
height. If you need to do that (for printing only, to create a blank form),
you can instead change the font color to white). Otherwise you'll have to
manually adjust the row height for each row, which is easier said than done.

Ah, the key here is copy using the corner cross and not sweep the entire
table for a copy. It carried the contents, but that's easy to delete.
The next question, for interest only, is how to I merge the two tables?

Providing the tables have identical columns (both the number and width of
the columns), removing the break between the tables will merge them into a
single table. If any of the columns are a different width, aligning the
columns will make the tables merge.

As Terry says, removing the separating paragraph will merge them, but if you
just want to add rows to the end of the table, you can add a single row by
tabbing out of the last row, or you can add multiple rows by selecting the
rows (any number up to the entire table) and using Table | Insert | Rows
Below.
