I have a strange issue with an Outlook 2016. It seams to be similar to this post, but as there is no answer there I try again here:
At one of my virtual computers an Outlook 2016 does not allow me to create tasks with a table in the body: The button "Insert table" is greyed out.
As you see clearly from the screenshot, the cursor IS in the body section. Other formatting (bold, bullets, color) are possible, just not inserting a table.
On other computers with the same Outlook version I can add tables. This has to be some strange setting here. The mail preferences are set to "HTML" and this issue does not occur for mails and calendar entries, only for tasks.
Can anybody advice what to do to change this behaviour?

Based on my test on my outlook 2016 (version as shown in the below figure), I can successfully add tables when creating tasks. In order to prevent other problems caused by the version is not updated, please make sure you have upgraded your Outlook to the latest version.
On other computers with the same Outlook version I can add tables.
On the other hand, I noticed that this problem seems to occur only in Outlook on your current computer. As John mentioned, It is recommended that you could try to fix the Office application. If it doesn't work, please uninstall and reinstall Office to check whether the problem still exists.
Hope the above help!
