    You can just add custom CSS and you are good to go.

    The easiest way to get exactly what you want in a table is to build it in excel and then take a snapshot and insert it as an image. The downside is that the content will not be searchable. Its another option to consider.

    If you are familiar with HTML and CSS code then you need not to install any plugin, you can add html code of table from the "HTML View" option of the editor. And then style your table using custom CSS.
