WP-Table formatting issues

I have worked with HTML tables with little success. Actually, they work but leave me with poorly formatted cells. WordPress must not recognize standard HTML tables, as I do this with Dreamweaver and view them properly with Firefox and IE.

I installed WP-Table and this allows me to import from .csv. This is great but forces me to use cell parameters that they choose. It appears to give me the option to change alignmnet, but limits what can be done. It allows comlumn width to be edited, but doesn’t actually show the new width.

Is there a newer plugin or another one that is more versatile? If not and my explanaition needs help, I can assemble some examples for the next go-around.

Thanks for your help.
