Insert tables

You can insert a table anywhere on a page, including in another table. You can quickly add a standard table with three rows and three columns, or you can modify options to add a custom table.

For information about a table-rendering option that might improve performance when you’re editing large tables, see Setting editing preferences.

When you start adding content to your table, use Preview in Browser to see exactly how the table will appear in the browsers of your website visitors (see Preview a page in your default browser).

    • Click the Table button  in the toolbar.
