Docs for Table Field?

In re-creating a project from SuperCard, I need to use a Table field.
A simple table should work, as long as I can set the column widths.
I cannot find full documentation for a Table Field anywhere, not even in the user guide.
Where can I find full documentation for Table Fields?
Thanks, -Will

Personally I feel that the
Table Field is LiveCode's "Great, White Hope" which they abandoned as they went hell-for-leather for the
DataGrid: which is a pity as both incarnations of the DataGrid are horribly complicated.
So
Table Fields have been left woefully under-documented; in the in-built documentation at least.

HOWEVER, with 260 responses to the search "
Table Field" here, I could be (pleasantly) wrong:

I like table fields a lot, and use them a lot.
But there is an anomaly with them that must be addressed. It is as if they are ill, but there is a pill that makes them better. See this:

The good news is that once they swallow the pill, they are good to go.

I don't get past 6.x much, but if I ever make the jump to 7.x and higher, I just want to say "thank you" Bernd!
