I have several tables with the same number of columns but differnt widths,
etc. (The tables have been scanned in) ther are some 2000 rows in total from
eight differnt tables. How can in join them to make one single uniform table?

The easiest way may be to select them all and then use the Convert Tables to
Text item on the Tables menu, and then use Convert Text to Tables.

Do you have all of the text selected when you try to use that menu option.
