Insert Table comand greyed out in new document

[ellenspot webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

Can anyone please tell me why the "Insert table" command, both on the objects panel and in the regular menu, would be greyed out when opening a new document? The first thing I want to do is insert a table. Do I have something goofy in my settings or somthing? I am new to the program, but have read extensively and have done numerous tutorials on DW4.

is this a new blank file, or an existing file?

if existing file, url to it??

second- check that you are in "regular table editing", and not Layout Mode.

View menu-->Tables-->Regular

Thank you! I uninstalled and reinstalled the program, because it just wasn't right that I couldn't have the option of inserting a table. Now it works. Thanks so much for your responses.

You most likely were in LAYOUT mode...which would cause all Insert/Table
icons to become inaccessible. Click View/Table View and make sure you are in
STANDARD view and not LAYOUT view. If you're in Layout, you'll need to draw
out tables/cells with the layout drawing tools. When in Standard, you can
insert tables per usual.
