The various table properties perplex me. I've figured out "tab
stops." That's about it.
Hmmm. There was never very much documentation of tables, but what
there was seems to have gotten lost at some point - or at least I
can't find it in the 2.61 docs. Here it is, for whatever it's worth:

How to create a spreadsheet-like table:
A table field is a field that is displayed as a grid, in the style of
a spreadsheet. Each line of the field becomes a row, and the columns
in a row are separated by tab characters. You control a table field's
behavior using the Table pane of the field's property inspector.
To make a field into a table field, follow these steps:
1. Open the field's property inspector and choose "Table" from the
menu at the top of the inspector palette.
2. Check the "Table object" box to make the field into a table.
3. If you want, change the baselines, grid, and tab stops settings
to change the appearance of the table field.

How to allow editing of individual cells in a table field:
Normally, a table field is edited like any other field, by entering
text directly. You can specify that a table field's cells can be
edited individually. When you click a cell, what you type goes into
that cell.
To allow cell editing in a table field, in the "Table" pane of the
field's property inspector, check the box labeled "Cell Editing".
When you click a cell in the table field, a box appears to let you
edit the cell's content.
Tip: To move between cells when cell editing is enabled, use the
Tab key, Return key, and arrow keys.

How to format numbers in a table field:
To control the format of numbers in a table field, you specify a
format, along with the cells you want to apply the format to, in the
field's property inspector. To choose a format, follow these steps:
1. In the "Table" pane, check the "Cell formatting" box.
2. Choose a column number from both menus labeled "Format Column".
3. From the "Using" menu, choose the format you want to use. In the
"With" box, enter a prefix or suffix, a number of decimal places, a
percentage value, or "short", "long", "internet", or "system" for a
date.
4. Press the Tab key, then click "Add" to apply the format.
Note: You can apply only one format to any particular cell.
