Abstract

In this paper we survey table creation in several popular document authoring programs and identify usability bottlenecks and inconsistencies between several of them. We discuss the user experience when drawing tables and we draw attention to the fact that authoring tables is still difficult and can be a frustrating and error prone exercise and that the development of high-quality table tools should be further pursued.
