the best way is to use a datagrid! :D

The basic table field is just an erm... well, a basic table (text) field and does not support this.

What Klaus said.

You need to use the "Form" variant of the dataGrid, not the "Table". You must first skim and from then on read and reference the data grid user guide. Good luck.

You can use a Data grid table by customizing the column template. Follow the tutorial

Remember that the height of each row is the same (but settable) in a table.
