The Table menu contains:

New Table…
Creates a new table at the current insertion point in the document. There are options for a table ID and border in the dialog box displayed.

Caption
Adds a caption element (<CAPTION></CAPTION>) at the current insertion point.

Header
Inserts a table header tag <TH> at the current insertion point.

Row
Inserts a row tag <TR> at the current insertion point.

Cell
Inserts a cell tag <TD> at the current insertion point.

Import as Table…
Displays a dialog box where you may select a text file. After selecting options for cell delimiter and how to treat the first row and column, the text file is imported and translated into an HTML table, and inserted into the document at the current insertion point. This command could be used to import tab-delimited text files directly as HTML tables.

Export as Table…
Exports an HTML table (using the current text selection) to a text file, with table translation options for converting row and cell delimiters to tabs, spaces, etc.

Convert submenu Commands
Including Convert Text to Table, Text to Rows, and Table to Text…
