TableInsertGeneral is the command you want for the "grid to create a table."

As for the first, do you have nested tables, merged cells? Is the table
wrapped? What view are you in?

Hello experts.

I've been working a large table (a form, actually), with multiple rows and
different sized cells. I can no longer select a cell (with the little
black
arrow). I have to go into the menu (TableSelectCell). I can select
columns and rows, but not individual cells. Also, my create table button
disappeared. When I added it back on the toolbar, I get a dialog box
instead
of a grid to create a table.

Thank you so much for your help.
