How do I insert a table between bullet points?

Question

I am not able to insert a table between bullet points. The table always ends up at the bottom of the list.

When I copy the points with tables in between from Word, the numberings go out of whack.

Is there a solution for this?

Thank you, Barbara. I shave my head, so I have no hair to pull out. Trying to figure out how an intricate application like Confluence would embed a table within a numbered list was getting painful... I was extremely embarrassed (and relieved) when you showed me straightforward it was/is.

This is easier to do with a bulleted list than a numbered list, but it can be done—by breaking the list into 2 lists with a table in between.

Basically, wherever you want to put the table, insert a new paragraph. This will include whatever type of list character you are using (bullet or number). Select the list button on the toolbar to make this a plain paragraph. Insert your table in this paragraph.

If you were in the middle of a numbered list, go to the beginning of the next numbered item. Backspace to delete the number. Type what the next number should be, then a period, then a space—Confluence should update the rest of the numbered list.
