# Increasing Space Between Two Vertical Tables

I'm trying to increase the spacing between the two vertical tables below. However, when I use the \vspace{5mm} these tables move with respect to each other.

• remove both the \newline and put a blank line before \vspace (also please always post a complete small document not just a fragment, so people can run the code and see the issue) – David Carlisle Oct 9 '18 at 22:14

remove both the \newline and put a blank line before \vspace
tabular are positioned by exactly the same logic as letters, and here you want two centred paragraphs.
