Insert table button doesn't work in Outlook 2010 e-mail message

[ironwoods]

I have been working my way through the Outlook 2010 Step by Step book, and one of the exercises calls for inserting a table in an email message. The table button is in the insert group on the ribbon, but it does not work. I have Word 2007, and the table button does work there.



What can I do to activate that feature?


After additional searching, I have discovered that Outlook 2010 has some features which are dependent on Word 2010. Word 2007 does not supply those features to Outlook, so they are unavailable for the mail program.
