OK, That seems to be very intuitive... I want to change the properties
of the table.

Here is the problem: There is no "Table Properties" item in the
"Table" menu. In fact, I can find no "Table Properties" even by
right-clicking on a highlighted table, row, or column.

What dialog am I supposed to be looking for?

Maybe you're thinking of a much newer version of word (Sorry, I'm
still using Word97).
Thanks.
