Why does the table absolutely have to be in the text object?

You can just as easily use the text object first, then the table object in between and then another text object at the end.

Of course, you can also try pasting the HTML code for a table into a text object and clicking the HTML icon at the top so that it has a blue border and the HTML code runs.

But why bother with HTML code when it's easier to separate text and table?

I missed that a Word table should be inserted and it may be extensive.

Using Google I found a German website with a list of tools.
