Try this, this is the slightly modified contents of the "revEmptyTable" 
handler in button "revTable" of stack "revlibrary", which I put into a 
button beneath the table field - it safely clears all cells:

"on mouseUp
   put the name of fld "Table Field" into pObject
   put the long id of pObject into tObject
   if (word 1 of tObject is "field") and (the cREVGeneral["table"] of 
tObject is true) and (exists(tObject)) then
     set the text of tObject to empty
     set the cREVTable["currentview"] of tObject to empty
     set the cREVtable["returnedview"] of tObject to empty
   end if
 end mouseUp"

By the way, the Transcript Dictionary does not mention "revEmptyTable".
