Make sure that both tables have "Text wrapping" set to "None" (in
Table | Table Properties, Table tab) before trying to delete the
paragraph mark between them.

You may also want to press the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar to
display paragraph marks (¶); this makes the deletion easier, since you
can see what you are doing.

And how is it done then? Because I am not able to do it in Word
2003 like I
was able to do it in Word 2000.
Very unhelpful.

It certainly can be done in Word 2003. I don't know what you are

In Word2002, users can join, merge, append two adjoining tables
by simply
deleting the paragraph mark between them.
In Word2003 this cannot be done - at least using the normal
"table
management" tools a regular Word table user has developed.
Please restore this capability to future versions of Word.
