Answers.Text: Table and Super Table are much better ways to do tables in Craft, and if you need columns to be configurable there’s [Table Maker](http://plugins.supercooldesign.co.uk/plugin/table-maker).

  I'd use a [Table](https://craftcms.com/docs/table-fields) or [SuperTable](https://github.com/engram-design/SuperTable) field
  
  But if you want to stick to a Redactor Rich Text field, put a wrapper `<div>` around the `{{ entry.redactorField }}` Twig markup, and use CSS to style the table ala `.myRedactorWrapper th` etc.
