METHOD 1:
It is possible to create the tables directly in HTML using a tool on a webpage. I do that sometimes. here is the link for that process.
Click where it says Tables (under Examples). This opens the TryIt Editor.
Edit the HTML in the left-hand pane. Click on Edit and Click Me. The result is updated on the right-hand side.
Copy and past from the right-hand pane into your forum post.
METHOD 2:
Open a Word document. (v.2003)
Create a table with the right number of COLUMNS ...
Table -> Insert -> Table
specify the number of columns (don't worry about the rows)
click on AutoFormat. Scroll down to Table Style Table Web 1.
Click on OK in the Table Styles dialog.
Click on OK in the Insert Table dialog.
Now paste the data into the cells.
When you TAB out of the last cell, it will create a new row.
Resize the table ...
Put the cursor in any cell. Table -> Select -> Table.
Right click. AutoFit -> AutoFit to Contents.
Finally, paste the entire table into your forum post.
ONE POINT TO WATCH OUT FOR: WHEN YOU QUOTE A POST CONTAINING A TABLE, THE FORMATTING GOES HAYWIRE. (You can copy and paste it directly from another post - just don't try to QUOTE it.)

Hello.
I prepare some cool tables in Excel 2007 and post theirs to forum. And bold or italic font copied as normal. Font color is always converted to black. If I copy from Excel to Word and from Word to message editor then in preview bewore table I see text like
<!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:
Also impossible delete created table (Key Del only clear cell content).
