  Hello

  As far as I know, there is no available plugin in wordpress.com to handle tables, but you can use native HTML tables to achieve what you need.

  please refer to this other topic: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/tables-038-wordpresscom?replies=14

  Hope that helps.

  Cheers.

  I would love to have a table facility within WordPress.com Free, particularly if colours can be used with a table

  I refer my readers to http://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/table-coding-for-wordpress-com-users/

  And, another good reference is here http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

  Note that if you use Windows then Windows Live Writer it has a tablemaker > http://en.support.wordpress.com/xml-rpc/windows-live-writer/ Note: Firefox users on Windows machines may need to clear the browser cache with ctrl+shift+del in order to get Firefox to recognize the formatting. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/posting-of-word-files-with-tables?replies=6

  @pedger
  Hi there,
  Yes. :) I’ve been here for over 9 years now. I predate all but one Support Staff member being on Staff and I predate the support docs too. I’m an obsessive thread tagger so tag search is always productive.

  Yes, timethief… I already noticed that you’re some sort of a WordPress.com-forum-freak! :D

  Nice to have you here!
  See you on forums.

  Thanks.

  You’re right. I became addicted to answering support questions almost a decade ago and now I’m slowly withdrawing. ;)

  Thank you for the guidance timethief (great name). I downloaded Windows Live Writer and used that. Had some difficulty running it in Wondows 10 but a query to Google resolved that. Had started to use http://www.tablesgenerator.com/html_tables but the HTML is quite messy. Either way there is a solution to having tables in WordPress.com.
