When you insert a table using Standard mode,
you get a very ordered table... think spreadsheet and you’ve got a
pretty good idea of what I’m talking about. And once the table is
created, you can, if you choose, to make changes in Standard or Expanded
Table mode. You can add or subtract cells from the table design, add
any type of information needed.
