If you want to remove all the numbering in the table, just select the table and click on the numbering button again

@YiJiang'sEvilClone That only makes nothing numbered.

@fredley Actually, Office for Mac generally works better than the Windows version

Also, I'm surprised the OSX version only has one tab for tables. I have the exact one shown there (except it's titled Design), plus a second Layout tab in Word 2010 Windows.
