Ok, first of all, making sure that emacs-goodies-el is installed, and that (require 'table) is in .emacs, type M-x insert-table. Answer the questions regarding cell width/height, and number of columns/rows. Now try inserting some text into cells. In my case, characters get inserted backwards. I haven't customized anything in that package. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sebastian
