Yola's text editing capabilities a bit limited?  Then visit Yola Tutorials - HTML 101 at html101.yolasite.com.  This is  not just a tutorial, but a WYSIWYG editing tool.  

One of its best features is that it lets you create tables which it then converts to HTML.  You can copy this HTML and paste it into an HTML widget on your website, and there's your table.

The operation of this facility is, however, a bit cumbersome.  For instance, you can nominate the size of the table (rows and columns) when you create it, and there's no facility for changing this except by dipping into the HTML, which can be tedious.

I have found a much better option is to create your table in a spreadsheet or word document where you can manipulate its size and format at will (including text format, borders and shading, etc.), then copy it (or just part of a bigger spreadsheet/table) and paste it into html101.yolasite.com as straight text (i.e. without using the insert/edit table option).  The Paste option removes any formatting and leaves you with a simple table that you can then format in html101.yolasite.com (though this is rather tedious, as it only does it one cell at a time).  You then switch to the HTML view, Select All, Copy and then paste into your website HTML widget.
Here's an example, created in Word:

 If y0u paste text directly from a Word document into a text widget, the Word formatting can cause troubles.  One way around this is to paste first into Notepad, then copy from there and paste into your text widget.  This drops off all the Word formatting.  However, if you want to retain the Word formatting you can do so by pasting from Word into html101, and copying the resultant HTML into an HTML widget on your web page.
