I think you are making this too complicated and underselling 
yourself! You may not need that adjustment of the nested table's 
properties, as there will usually be an empty paragraph after the 
nested table and therefore available space from which to drag. 
Instead, your trick of selecting the outer table's cell (including 
the nested table) by dragging from that cell to an adjacent cell and 
back again is all that is required. That's a much simpler solution than mine!
