I think it would be a good idea to move the table buttons outside the toolbar, as they take up almost 33% of the space in the toolbar and are probably only active less than 20% of the time.

I would suggest not adding a new row for this, but instead make some kind of hover toolbar that shows up above a table when the cursor is moved inside that table. This way we declutter the interface and only bother the end-user with an extra interface when it's needed.

*On a different note: I'd like to be able to hide the statusbar as well. I can see it being valuable to a bit more technical users, but to a lot of "Word" users, it doesn't add any extra value and only uses valuable pixels.*
