Tables can have colored borders, background color and images. Dialog boxes to try playing with include the Table Properties dialog box on the Table menu and the Cell properties dialog box on the Table menu. Cell properties override Table properties. Tables can be used to organize a page. Tables are very useful for embedding images in text, as in the Koosh picture earlier.
Tables also permit the construction of truly chaotic, confused, and ugly pages.
Different browsers may display complex tables in different ways. Tables can lead to slow display of web pages.
