5. Click "Tables" under the Objects group.
6. Click "New" button above Objects group and below Database title.
7. Select "Table Wizard" and click OK.

You're on way to create your first table.

Good Luck.

That's a bit like saying that you want to create a memo from a filing cabinet.

Here are some useful resources; you might want to start with Crystal's video

In addition to the other help you are already receiving, be aware that an
Access table is NOT a spreadsheet, even though it looks like one. If you
aren't familiar with "relational database design" or "normalization", plan
to spend some time learning about these before setting up your first
table...
