Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ vertical separator line between two tables

[mayankmi]

These two tables are so near. i want to draw some vertical line so the tables look separate.

Not exactly what you wanted, but please have a look.

Please note, how the tables are numbered. captionof is not a floating-environment, but table is. In my example the enumeration "seems" to be confused. You have to take care of things like that.

Table 3 shares the caption and is using subcaptions instead.

thanks ... lets see if someone comes up with solution i want

In general vertical rules should be avoided because they disturb the reading flow (not only in tables). But you can do the following for an optical separation.

• Decrease the width of the {minipage} environments and simply insert filling space by \hfill as Johannes already suggested.
• Use the TeX primitive \vrule in combination with filling space by \hfill. The vertical rule will be calculated in dependence of the surrounding objects.

For the other improvements you should study the manuals of the involved packages.
