Format column widths from one table to a separate table on same page

[Boondockers]

I have two separate tables on the same page. They both have 8 columns but with varying column widths.
I want to copy a row from top table into the bottom table but when I do the lines separating the columns won't align.

How can I make the columns in the bottom table have the same widths as the top table?

Can they be synchronized some how so the widths of both table stay the same?

Must I somehow lock the column width of each separate column on both tables? Is there an easier method?

If you want the columns to align, you must make the column widths the same for both tables; Word can't do it for you.
