I should add that the method outlined below will certainly not give you 
the flexibility of a true spreadsheet for creating tables.  Of course 
you can either process the resulting table afterward. Or you could take 
a completely different approach:  create your table in a spreadsheet 
program and use Import to pull it into Mathematica.  You can import 
either an original XLS or ODS format spreadsheet or, if you wish, first 
save the spreadsheet to CSV format and then import that.
