2. Place your cursor where you want to insert the table.
3. Click on the "Insert" menu at the top of the compose window.
4. Select "Table" from the dropdown menu.
5. A table editor will appear. You can customize the table settings, such as the number of rows and columns, alignment, and border style.
6. Click "Insert" to add the table to your email.

Method 2: Using HTML Code

1. Compose a new email or reply to an existing one.
2. Place your cursor where you want to insert the table.
3. Type <table> to start the table HTML code.
4. Add the table attributes, such as <table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">.
5. Add the table rows and columns using <tr> and <td> tags. For example: <tr><td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td></tr>.
6. Close the table with </table>.
7. Gmail will render the table as you typed it.

Tips and Variations

• To add a border to your table, use the border attribute in the table HTML code (e.g., <table border="1">).
• To change the table alignment, use the align attribute (e.g., <table align="center">).
• To add a caption to your table, use the <caption> tag (e.g., <table><caption>Table Caption</caption><tr><td>Cell 1</td><td>Cell 2</td></tr></table>).
• If you're using a lot of tables in your email, you might want to consider using a third-party email client or a HTML editor to create and format your tables.
