Creating a table using the FCK Editor Insert/Edit Table icon [[Image:FCKtable.png]].

 * 1) After signing in to the Wiki, located the section where I wished to add a table, and clicked the Edit section icon.

 * 5) This is what it looks like:

(Note: OpenOffice.org Calc, which is similar to Microsoft Office Excel, does not offer an option to convert to MediaWiki.txt. It does, however, offer options to convert to PDF or XHTML.)
