Table: The table element is introducing in WPF for displaying the information in the tabular format and according the the requirement, the table element is basically used to display the in horizontally. whenever you want to display more than one element in horizontally or we can say you want to line-up more than one element in horizontally, than you have to use the table element. The syntax for a table is verbose, but very logical.  You simply build it up by adding columns and groups of rows within each column.  Each row can then be split into cells and you can insert content into the individual cells. By default, the content of the FlowDocument will be added vertically.

Following are the steps which you need to follow to create a Table:

  1. Place a TableRowGroup element inside the Table. The TableRowGroup holds a group of rows, and every table consists of one or more TableRowGroup elements. On its own, the TableRowGroup doesn't do anything. However, if you use multiple groups and give them each different formatting, you get an easy way to change the overall look of your table without setting repetitive formatting properties on each row.

  2. Place a TableRow element inside your TableRowGroup for each row.
     
  3. Place a TableCell element inside each TableRow to represent each column in the row.
  4. Place a block element (typically a Paragraph) in each TableCell. This is where you'll add your content for that cell.

Example of create a Table:

<Window x:Class="Documents.FlowContent"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

    <FlowDocumentScrollViewer>
        <FlowDocument>
