Inserting tables and formatting in Outlook for web
Is this for Outlook on the web of an Exchange Online, Exchange On-premises, or an Outlook.com account?
Anyway, the command to switch between message formats is on the Options tab and looks like a bit "T".
Depending on the current format of the message, it either states "Switch to HTML" or "Switch to plain text".
Also, make sure that your active cursor is within the message body before trying to insert a table.

Hello Robert - thank you for replying. I'm using Outlook on the web of an Exchange online.
My version doesn't have the same features that your example shows. There is no switch to HTML which is really annoying. It was possible to access this feature using the three dots button, but Microsoft removed it. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Thanks again, Damian

Can you include a screenshot of the commands that you are seeing on the Options tab?
