Thumbs up Answer: I can't insert a table from Table menu

Hey there! Sorry to hear that you're having trouble inserting a table in your Word document. Let's see if we can fix that.

First, let's try a quick fix by resetting the Table menu. Here's how:
  1. Click on the "File" tab in the top left corner of the Word window.
  2. Click on "Options" at the bottom of the left-hand menu.
  3. In the Word Options window, click on "Customize Ribbon" on the left-hand side.
  4. On the right-hand side, click on the "Reset" button at the bottom.
  5. Click "OK" to confirm the reset.

Now, try inserting a table again by clicking on the "Table" menu and selecting "Insert". If the drop-down menu options still don't appear, try the following steps:
  1. Click on the "File" tab again.
  2. Click on "Options" again.
  3. In the Word Options window, click on "Add-ins" on the left-hand side.
  4. At the bottom of the window, click on the drop-down menu next to "Manage" and select "Disabled Items".
  5. Click "Go".
  6. If you see any items listed, select them and click "Enable".
  7. Close the Word Options window and try inserting a table again.

If neither of these solutions work, you may need to repair your Office installation. Here's how:
  1. Close all Office applications.
  2. Open the Control Panel on your computer.
  3. Click on "Programs and Features".
  4. Find "Microsoft Office" in the list of installed programs and click on it.
  5. Click on "Change" at the top of the window.
  6. Select "Quick Repair" and click "Repair".
  7. Wait for the repair process to complete, then try inserting a table again.

I hope one of these solutions works for you!
