Using \matrix is perhaps the only way to do this. Here is an example to create a table with math:
\matrix{
\text{Component} & n_0 \text{mol} & n(\tau) \text{mol} & p(\tau) = P n(\tau)/\Sigma n(\tau) \cr
N_2 & 1 & 1-\xi/2 & P(1-\xi/2)/(4-\xi) \cr
H_2 & 3 & 3-3\xi/2 & P(3-3\xi/2)/(4-\xi) \cr
NH_3 & 0 & \xi & P\xi/(4-\xi) \cr
\Sigma & 4 & 4-\xi & P \cr
}
Entering this into the live editor's LaTeX equation box produces the following:

I found a way around by using matrix as shown below.
$\left[\matrix{\textbf{Heading1}&\textbf{Heading2}&\quad&\textbf{Heading3}&\quad& \textbf{Heading4}&\quad&\textbf{Heading5}\cr & &\quad& &\quad& &\quad& }\right]$

Starting in R2023b, you can add editable tables to live scripts using the toolstrip.
To insert a table, on the toolstrip, go to the Insert tab and select Table. Move the cursor over the grid to highlight the numbers of rows and columns you want and then click to add the table. To create a larger table, select the Insert a table button and specify the numbers of rows and columns in the dialog box.
For more information, see Format Text in the Live Editor.
