<tbl> (Table)

This element specifies the contents of a table present in the document. A table is a set of paragraphs (and other block-level content) arranged in rows and columns. Tables in WordprocessingML are defined via the <tbl >element, which is analogous to the HTML table tag.

example:

This table is represented by the following WordprocessingML: 

<w:tbl>
  <w:tblPr>
    <w:tblW w:w="5000" w:type="pct"/>
    <w:tblBorders>
      <w:top w:val="single" w:sz="4" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
      <w:left w:val="single" w:sz="4 w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
      <w:bottom w:val="single" w:sz="4" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
      <w:right w:val="single" w:sz="4" w:space="0" w:color="auto"/>
    </w:tblBorders>
  </w:tblPr>
  <w:tblGrid>
    <w:gridCol w:w="10296"/>
  </w:tblGrid>
  <w:tr>
    <w:tc>
      <w:tcPr>
        <w:tcW w:w="0" w:type="auto"/>
      </w:tcPr>
      <w:p/>
    </w:tc>
  </w:tr>
</w:tbl>

This table specifies table-wide properties of 100% of page width using the <tblW> element (§2.4.61); a the set of table borders using the <tblBorders> element (§2.4.38); the table grid which defines a set of shared vertical edges within the table using the <tblGrid> element (§2.4.44); and a single table row using the <tr> element (§2.4.75). ]
