Add a table to a content control

Question

This tutorial suggests nesting tables in content controls but every time I'm trying to do this I get an error saying 'Word cannot turn off design mode because placeholder text in a content control contains invalid items'. I've tried both Rich Text and Plain Text content controls. Office version is 2012.

How do I add a table to a content control?

I've tested the tutorial with MS Word 2007 and it works. Make sure you add a rich text box content control to your word document and lable it. Furthermore the rich text box content control must contain a table with one row and three cells. — Hans
While dropping the tables/controls inside control turn off the "Design Mode". — Atul Verma

It works if design mode is turned off. However I'm still not satisfied, because Word automatically adds an empty paragraph after every table.
