Ampler inserts a table from a template in your library and lets you save your own, so documents use a consistent, on-brand table format.
Quick answer: Click Table then Quick Tables on the Ampler ribbon and select a table to insert; to save your own, select a table and use Add content → Selected table.

Why use it
Formatting a table to the house style on every document invites inconsistency. Inserting from a saved template puts an on-brand table on the page in a click, and saving your own keeps the format consistent everywhere.
How consultants use it
Tables are standard report furniture, and they’re expected to share one format. A saved table template enforces that. Three conventions apply:
- Reuse an approved format: tables come from a saved template, not built from scratch.
- Consistency across documents: tables look the same whoever writes the report.
- Faster, on-brand tables: no reformatting on every document.
Saved table templates keep a report’s tables consistent.
Tips & best practices
- Save the table formats your team uses most to the library.
- Name saved tables clearly with F2 so they’re easy to find.
- Insert from a template rather than building tables from scratch.
