  2. Click on the Insert Table icon in the Standard toolbar.
  3. A grid will appear.
  4. Highlight the number of columns and rows you want in your nested table.
  5. The new table will be inserted into the selected cell.

IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE THE BORDERS OF THE NESTED TABLE, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS LISTED BELOW.
  1. Select the table.
  2. Click on the arrow to the right of the Outside Border icon in the Formatting toolbar.
  3. Choose No Border.

  4. The table borders will be removed.
  5. Your nested table will have no borders.

Note: Although you will see a faint highlight of the borders after you have removed them, the printed product will have no borders, nor will the Print Preview view.
