Then there is the excellent DrawIt plugin for drawing. It can do boxes
too so it may help building tables. You'd probably want to use replace

If you really need this feature a lot you could use Emacs at least for
these table-editing tasks. Lots of features to make editing Ascii tables
easy. One of them (orgtbl-mode) can even do spreadsheets and
semi-automatic calculations. But for occasional use it may not be a good
idea to learn another editor.
