Set table properties
Now you’ll set precise table properties, using Expanded Tables mode, a 
feature that temporarily adds cell padding and spacing to tables and 
increases the borders of the tables to simplify editing. Specifically, it lets 
you position the insertion point precisely without accidentally selecting the 
wrong table or other table content.

You may see the Table selector (indicated by green lines) after you insert a 
table. You can always make the Table selector disappear by clicking 
outside the table. You can also disable the Table selector by selecting 
View > Visual Aids > Table Widths.

After you finish setting table properties in Expanded Tables mode, always 
return to Standard mode. Expanded Tables mode is not a WYSIWYG 
(what you see is what you get) environment, so some operations, such as 
resizing, do not display the expected results

If you see the Getting Started with Expanded Tables Mode dialog box, 
click OK.
