When you add a table, you choose from a number of predesigned styles that match your template. After you add a table, you can customize it however you like.
Do one of the following:
Place the table within text: Tap in the text where you want the table to be fixed. This sets the table to move with text, so if you type before the table, the table moves down. When the table is added, it will have the same justification as the paragraph, so if the paragraph is left or right justified, you can’t center the table on the page.
Place the table so that it can be moved freely: Tap somewhere other than text so that there’s no text insertion point. After the table is added, you can position it where you like—it’s not fixed in the text.
