You can "wrap" one table or the other by setting the text wrapping (Table
tab of Table Properties) to Around.

Or you can divide that section of the document into two columns and put a
table in each one.

I have a document in which I am trying to put two different tables
beside each other. This is necessary for me to provide the flexibility
of rows.

It seems that when I put the second table next to the first, it takes on
the characteristics of the first table, which I don't want. For example,
the initial table has 5 rows, set at their respective heights.

The table that is placed next to it I am unable to split up independent
of the first. For instance, I am limited to 5 rows that take on the same
heights at the left table. I can spit these cells into smaller units,
but then the row heights are inappropriate.

How can I place a 2nd table next to another in a way that it is
independent of the first?
