Guided by this answer, you can do so.

We define the table procurement with one row and two cells:

 string table = @"\trowd\cellx1000\cellx2000\intbl \cell\intbl \cell\row";

Code to add a table to the RichTextBox :

 int index = richTextBox.Rtf.LastIndexOf("}"); richTextBox.Rtf = richTextBox.Rtf.Substring(0, index) + table + "}";
