BEBOPS How to Insert a Table into a Page
This page shows how to create a table in a page.
First activate the second editing ribbon by pressing the more (...) icon at the right end of the main ribbon The Table icon is a two by two rectangle. Click on this and the table window will open. When you click on this the table menu is displayed, from this select "table" and choose the number of rows and columns that you require (this can be changed to lower or higher later).
