Table Objects
Tables are defined as part of the Group Header. Table ending is
defined in the Group Trailer. Table columns and the side boundaries
can be defined in either Group record or in the Details included in
that group.
The table is included when Table frame required is ticked. Note that you have to specify both the Group Header and Footer in this dialog box.

With the Group Header selected, select on one of the column lines or the outer frame. White squares appear on the table and column lines.
You can edit the table by selecting Properties 
from the Edit group, or select
