I figured out how to add a title to a table, but cannot make the title in two or more rows, only one. How can I create table name with three rows. I hope someone can answer this question and also tell me how to do the same thing before putting data in the table, if that method is different. Thanks in advance
Table titles are often used in formulas so it's probably not a good idea to turn them into multiple lines.
What you could do is add a Header Row to your table. Then in one of its cells you can enter text in multiple lines.
Type:
My line one <control-return>
My line two <control-return>
My line three.

EH,
To emphasize a point SG is making: Title and Name have specific meanings with respect to Tables.
The table name should be as concise as possible, and ideally you should think of something more creative than Table 1 so that it means something down the road. Concise because the name will be used in any formula referencing one table from another. Meaningful because it will help you to get your equations working properly if they trigger special associations. There is a checkbox in the Format Pane, Table tab, where you can choose to display the table name above the table, or not.
Titles are the text applied to Header cells, either in a Header Row or Header Column. These identifiers specify the Fields of the table. The Header text can be used in formulas but is best left as a simple visual cue. There is a Preference in Numbers Preferences, General, where you can choose to use Header text in equations. In my opinion this option is best left off.

Jerry is right. I should have written Table Name where I wrote Table Title. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.
