I'm just now learning HTML.

Thanks everyone!! Sigil saves the ePub correctly if I add the table tags.
I had originally made an overly fussy table using the site I posted and in the process of manually removing the code I didn't want, I hacked off the table tags. I guess what blinded me to this mistake was that both Sigil and Calibre display the table in the preview window without showing any errors and Calibre successfully saves the ePub even with my badly written HTML code. Plus all the readers I tried, show the page with the flawed table code just fine. It goes to show flexible eBook readers are with badly written code!
