I recently noticed that when I add a table to a modern page (using the Text web part and paste from Word) the formatting of the columns doesn't automatically wrap the text any longer. The column widths just grow with the size of the text. This naturally creates a horizontal scroll bar in order to view the entire table contents (not very user friendly at all). I've added tables in the past and haven't observed this behavior before. In the past the text would wrap so that the entire table was visible. Was this change intentional? Is this a bug?

@Susan Hanley Would I be able to hide the grid lines of the table like how we do on a classic wiki?

@Susan Hanley When I insert a table, it automatically makes it 3 columns and has a fixed width that I can't seem to change. I can add columns to the right, but I can't make the table reach from the left to right edges of the webpart--it's very narrow. Am I doing something wrong?

@Susan Hanley Thank you! I did play around and discovered the same. Just in case there's an option that I can't find, is there any way to fix the vertical alignment of content in a cell? It seems to make it vertically centered by default, and I can't see any way to do that. Thanks again for your help.

The issue I have with Tables in a modern communication page is that the table itself is always left justified within the webpart. How do I get the entire table to be center-justified?
I have all my text centered down the page...and then there's the anchored to the left.
On a related note...a few days ago in one of my tables, I managed to get a picture embedded. And now I can't figure out how I did it!

First time trying this (browser: 98.0.1108.62) and it's very random whether I can widen the table or not (the actual width handle appears sometimes (rarely) and mostly not at all. I can change the width of the internal column boundaries, but rarely the external one, and the adjustment lines always appear offset to the right of the actual lines. Same in chrome. Horrible user experience.
We really need a much better block-style editing interface.

So, it's 2023. Any progress on this? (Crosses fingers, but loses hope._
