If you insert a table, the Table Tools and the tab "Table" are displayed. The tab contains the commands you need for working with table objects. When you have finished the work on the text object, the Table Tools are hidden.
Optionally, you can activate a mini-toolbar for the tabel-objects (File > Options > Workspace).
