Comment 8 for bug 208589

About adding tables,I'm sure somebody has tried it before but it is very easy to add tables via the latex equation function.
Just enter a table definition instead an equation and voilá you have a table in your notebook. The only nice feature would be to extend the search function to look up the .tex files as well, so you can find table entries even they are just a png in the pages.

A screen of an inserted table can be found here:

For non Latex users a simplified interface may be necessary to create such tables.
