If you need to add multiple columns or rows simultaneously to a table, the best way is via HTML in the RTE Source. In the Source, the table is defined within the <table> HTML tag, each table row is defined with the <tr> HTML tag, and a table data/cell is defined with the <td> HTML tag.

Add Rows

If your goal is to add rows, you will need to copy/paste the <tr> </tr> section as many times as rows are needed within the <tbody> </tbody> HTML tags. You can add rows above or below any pre-existing table rows. Columns must be inserted within a row.

" class="img-responsive" width="262" height="67" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: middle; max-width: 100%; display: block; height: auto;"

Each <tr> </tr> section will define a row in the table.

Add Columns

Columns are defined by the number of cells within a row, so the number of columns in a table equals the number of cells in each row.

To add a column to the table, you'll need to insert a <td> HTML tag within each row. 

Also, make sure you add the <td> HTML tag to ALL the rows so you don't get an unbalanced table.
