Your post lacks detail. It's impossible to know from what little you've posted how this might be automated.

What you want to do can't be done via the Insert Table dialogue box. You would need a separate macro to populate the table after you've created it. Alternatively, you could use a macro to both create and populate the table. The following macro takes the latter approach

Code:

Sub AddTable()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim StrNum As String, NumRows As Long, oTbl As Table, r As Long
StrNum = InputBox("How Many Pairs of Rows?")
If IsNumeric(StrNum) = False Then Exit Sub
NumRows = CLng(StrNum) * 2
Set oTbl = Selection.Tables.Add(Range:=Selection.Range, NumRows:=NumRows, NumColumns:=2)
With oTbl
  .Borders.Enable = True
  With .Range.ParagraphFormat
    .SpaceBefore = 0
    .SpaceAfter = 0
  End With
  If NumRows = 2 Then
    .Cell(1, 1).Range.Text = "<2FG>"
    .Cell(1, 2).Range.Text = "<2FG>"
    .Cell(2, 1).Range.Text = "<LLA>(a)"
    .Cell(2, 2).Range.Text = "<LLA>(b)"
  Else
    For r = 1 To NumRows Step 2
      .Cell(r, 1).Range.Text = "<4FG>"
      .Cell(r, 2).Range.Text = "<4FG>"
      .Cell(r + 1, 1).Range.Text = "<LLA>(" & Chr(96 + r) & ")"
      .Cell(r + 1, 2).Range.Text = "<LLA>(" & Chr(97 + r) & ")"
    Next
  End If
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
