tables, tinymce and wordpress

tinymce, the visual editor that came with wordpress 2.3.2 has a little trouble with html tables. i made a couple of tables in my html editor, copy and pasted the code into the wordpress page editor, in code mode of course. when i saved the page only the first row of the tables came out in the final page. apparently, the visual editor was stripping some table tags before the page is saved — part of its function i suppose.
a search in the wp forums gave a few solutions, mostly relating to installing a plugin. what worked for me was to turn off the visual editor while i pasted and saved the page. quick and dirty solution i think.

in the wp dashboard, click on users - your profile and uncheck the “use the visual editor when writing” checkbox (above) and then click on update profile.
