Another approach, which I find to be much faster than copying rows and pasting into new tables, is to make multiple copies of the entire table and delete the unwanted rows from each successive copy. This approach retains the original columns widths in each new table, preserves the column heading row, and duplicates the table title but with appropriate numbering if you are using autonumbering. Other than deleting the rows above and below the range you want to use in a given division of the table, the only thing you need to do is edit the identical titles of each new table to make some differentiation for that division of the whole table.
The only real downside is that when you first make all the copies they all look exactly alike (except for the table number) so that you have to be careful to keep track of which division of the table you're working on as you delete rows. But if you screw up, you just have to paste in another copy of the original table and start over with the row deletions. My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Put your insertion point where you want the cut section of table to become an independent table, PASTE. == after you have pasted table segment, press Ctrl-T to open the Table Designer, and on the BASIC tab, change "Title Position" in lower right corner of menu to "Above Table". APPLY. == Note that your table will not have any header rows. If you had header rows in the original table, you will need to add header rows to your new table and copy/paste the content from the original table to the new table. To make a table segment (e.g. ROW) start a new page, insert your cursor in the ROW where you want a page break, and choose Table=>Row Format change "Start Row" menu to "top of page" and SET. If you need to undo this later, insert your cursor in a row that has a "start page" format in it, and use this same command, only change "Start Row" to "Anywhere." I hope this answers your questions.
