If you have excel on your phone, or any spreadsheet that can export excel, that would be  great, because it is easy and allows user to sort on any column (if you happen to have more than one column).

You can use Google Sheets to create the Table and contents.
Since the phone's screen is small, tapping on the exact cell and typing can be very challenging.
Using a stylus or a bluetooth keyboard will make the work much easier.

To share the spreadsheet, download as Excel file (.xlsx) and upload it as an attachment.
However, maximum file size allowed is only 2MB.

An alternative method is to publish the file to the web (by sharing the url or embedding it in the website).

If so:
1. Click on "Table"

2. Scroll over "Table" and select number of Columns x Rows to insert.
[3 x 10] = 3 Columns x 10 Rows

3. Adjust size of Table and proceed with data entry.
You can edit the Table (add columns, rows, edit Table Properties etc) anytime.

@mastertrek, I see, you're trying to use the "table" icon in the forum, whilst on your phone.

I just logged in and tried to do the same thing, and based on that my advice is - just don't. I don't think there's any way to do it without extreme frustation...

I wish I could say otherwise but without a stylus and incredible patience, I just don't think it's practical.

Yeah it's really more geared toward someone who's typing at their pc.

If you're trying to create a list of items on your phone and you're finding that creating a table is difficult, there are a few other options you can try:

Bulleted List: You can create a bulleted list by using the bullet point symbol (•) followed by each item. This is a simple and effective way to create a list that is easy to read on a phone.

Numbered List: Similar to a bulleted list, you can create a numbered list by using numbers followed by each item. This is useful if you need to create a specific order or ranking for your items.

Indented List: You can also create an indented list by adding a tab or space before each item. This can help to visually separate each item and make the list easier to read.
