Phil, I've found that it is extremely difficult to rename Table 1. So, if I create a second table, rename it, then delete Table 1, I now have Table 1 renamed. Renaming subsequent tables is reasonably normal using the method outlined in the earlier post. This is only useful, though, if you are able to set up the tables ahead of time or if you copy and paste all data from Table 1 to your second table then delete Table 1. I hope this is making sense. One other thing to note is that you can easily change the name of a sheet by Interacting with the Sheet Navigator, then pressing VO-shift-m on the desired sheet to bring up its contextual menu, and then choosing Rename.
