WordPad is a rich text editor which lets you create simple documents or add HTML into your page. You won't find an option to create tables in WordPad (Windows 95 to 7). However, you can create tables by inserting an object that enables you to do so. The program you're inserting (as an object) must already be installed for this option to work. Alternatively, you can use HTML to create a table you want to display on the web.
