I see windows problem discussion on same problem and remedy was to delete WinFileCache-BFE7CE2E.dat and it worked!! according to Win user.  Got the same problem on Mac version.. I realize Adobe has discontinued support but said they do fix issues on the current version. 

Actually quite a few items under 'Insert" doesn't do anything.

Uninstalled-Reinstalled ...no help- MacOS UpToDate.   Any help would be helpful.

Correct answer pacaron

Thanks Nancy: Restore Preferences did the trick. We're back up and runnin'. I'll remember that for future reference.

I rarely if ever use tables because they're not responsive in all devices.  That said, the Insert > Table function works exactly as expected for me in LIVE & DESIGN view.  See resulting code.

<table width="80%" border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<th scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
<th scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
<th scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
<th scope="col">&nbsp;</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

 

When unexpected things happen, it's almost always related to code errors.

 

1. Validate code and fix reported errors.

Window > Results > Validation.  Check document...

 

2. If that doesn't help, Restore Preferences as described below.

3. If that doesn't help, run the Adobe Cleaner tool to wipe DW off your system.

Restart computer. 

Perform a clean reinstallation of DW from your Creative Cloud Desktop App.

 

Hope that helps.
