Do you frequently create the same type of complex table, such as a financial table or tables to use for custom page layouts?

Select the table and press ALT+F3 to open the Create New Building Block dialog box. Type a name for your table, and then in the Gallery list, click Tables. You can set other options as well, such as choosing or creating a category for your table, which will affect where in the Quick Tables gallery it appears.
