Problems with latest version of MySQL workbench

[Vernon Smith]

I am new to this so please keep it straightforward.....

I have created a Schema and then when I add a table, I dont get any fields to make columns.

If I try and save the table to the scheme is get this error message:

Executing:
CREATE TABLE `people`.`new_table` (
);

Operation failed: There was an error while applying the SQL script to the database.
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 2
SQL Statement:
CREATE TABLE `people`.`new_table` (
)

Any help greatly appreciated.
