you don't need to ungroup the table to edit the content of the cells. depending on the version, just double click on the cell or alt-double-click on it. in many cases, it's better to avoid using the tables tool in scribus. as you already found out, it needs more work to be a ready for production. as an alternative you can use tabulators or import the table as a vector drawing / bitmap. ciao a.l.e
