Table not incorporating adjacent cells

Anonymous

Up until a couple of weeks ago, anytime that I put information in a cell that we beside or below a table, the table would automatically incorporate these cells. My tables no longer do this. I would like for this function to resume.

I am not sure if an option was somehow unselected or not. Could someone help me please?

Thank you!!
