[And to answer my own question, no, the fancy-dancy editor doesn't have buttons for tables.... sorry about that red herring.]

But here's a possible workaround: set up your table in a plain page (word or excel, whatever), select it, copy it, paste it into a graphics program, and save it as a jpg, then upload normally (or as normally as that gets, anyway).

Excell? Yeeuck!

That's your number one and two problem, stay away... far away. They were never meant to be used for html editing.

The above noted "guide" may help but keep in mind no matter how well that conversion works it may look like sh*t because of the support, or lack there of, in your themes style sheet.

I've tried copying the table directly, I've tried turning it into a jpeg or gif and inserting (doesn't work either), turning it into HTML and copying that (also doesn't work). This must be a common problem. HELP both FROMROBINTO and me.

Doesn't the wysiwyg thingie have buttons for tables?

I just wanted a small table inserted into the middle of the text. Does wordpress.com allow you to do this? Any workarounds other than just posting a picture? Thanks in advance for your help.
