Hello @Amanda Harland 

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

You tagged you post as being applicable to the Confluence Cloud product, but I don't believe you are using the Cloud (SaaS) version of Confluence. Such products are accessed through URLs like this:

https://<something>.atlassian.net

That doesn't match the URL shown at the bottom of your image. Based on that URL you are accessing a self-hosted version of the product - Confluence Server or Confluence Data Center.

When you are not editing a page the version of Confluence should be displayed at the very bottom of the page. What version are you using?

Do you have the table embedded inside a macro or within the cell of another table? It looks like you might. Can you tell us in what exactly it is embedded?

I'm not sure what the table is embedded in, I believe just a section... not sure if this view helps answer your question 

[Trudy Claspill]

The dotted line indicates the border of a Section (1).

The solid line indicates the border of something else (2). In my example below I have created Table 2 and then created another table within a cell in Table 2.

Notice that the Responsive option is disabled (3) when my cursor is positioned within that second table. I think that is the problem you are facing. You would need to pull that table out of the object in which it has been embedded, which could mean doing a significant reformatting of your page to get the same presentation using alternate methods.

Thank you Tracy that worked!
