Tips for Handling Tables?

[LilTV1155]

I have tried to create Cornell Note format with Table. But it keep getting twisted into the wrong places as if the Editor has genuine hatred for Tables.
For example:

Edit Mode: .............................................................. -> After Preview (Pre-Publish Mode)
__________________........................................................_____________________________
|______Header____| .................................................... | ____Header____ |..........|........|
|Side | ___________|.......................................................|.................................| Side| Bo |
|..........| Body _____|...................................................... |.......Footnote.......|...........| dy |
|_____|____________|...................................................... |_________________|_____ |____|
|_____Footnote___| ............................................... ->......................................................

Got any tips?

I think it might help if you used the forum's table function to clarify what you want.

?	Note taking?
Footnote?	Conclusion?

Right now, I'm not sure what you want exactly, or what the trouble is.

BB-Code and similar editors mostly don't support colspan and rowspan and your table isn't possible without that.
Instead, just use two tables. One 1x3 with header and footer. And then add a second one in the middle cell with 2x1 (Or 2x? if you want to make it easier to align the comments on the left) for left and right side. Set valign to top for those cells so you can position the left-side easier.

Add a border if you want and that's that:
