Generate a table inside a word doc

I haven't learned the Advanced Document Templating plug-in, which might be better (or at least easier).  Before it even existed (sometime in 2013), i invented a suite of expression functions that inject WordML elements into standard replacement fields in the standard "Word Doc from Template" smart service which can create arbitrary text formatting as well as arbitrary tables with any number of rows and columns (and any contents in the cells). 

I shared an old export of this somewhere in an older comment, if you feel like digging.  I don't have access to my normal laptop now so I don't have the export file handy, but it's possible. 

Also, I would caveat that it doesn't work quite right if the Word file is then converted to PDF, probably because I used a stripped-down version of the WordML with only the elements necessary to get it working in a Word file.

Hi Mike Schmitt : thanks for your prompt response. I am trying to use WordML to generate a dynamic table. Our requirement is to generate only Word doc.  

You should be able to follow the breadcrumb trail from my previous comments to get to my comprehensive Appian 21.1 export of a working and fully-functional demo app for this functionality, FYI.
