Inserting tabls and text box in visual editor
-
I have a blog in wordpress.com and I am planning to upgrade to premium account. However, I would want to know, by doing so will I be able to insert tables and text boxes in visual editor?
I would like to avail of the MS Word facilities in visual editor. Is that possible if I upgrade to premium?
If not, how can I avail of these facilities?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. You can use tables and text boxes in a free account, but you’ll need to code them in using HTML. Upgrading won’t change this.
Word uses a format called Rich Text Formatting (RTF), while websites (all of them, not just WordPress.com) use HTML. The two formats handle text completely differently, and there’s no way to create a text box or table in a Word Processor and simply insert it into a web page. On the web you have to use HTML.
For a tutorial on creating text boxes, see here: https://lorelle.wordpress.com/2015/04/17/wordpress-school-html-inline-styles/
For tables: https://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/table-coding-for-wordpress-com-users/

The other option is embedding your Word document in your post: http://en.support.wordpress.com/google-docs/
