can you use rectangular tablecloths on round tables?
Answers:
Most definitely, but don't make it look like you had no choice.
Make it appear intentionally unique and classy if the occassion is such. How? I'm glad you asked.
Use two long rectangle cloths and lay them criss cross in a manner that equal amount of overhang is equal in the 4 places. Gather the middle of the overhang of each cloth up to mid-point (or higher) and create 4 points of interest to each table by using a quick sew (or pinning) method to put flowers or a bow in the center gathered part. Create a matching centerpiece for the tabletop.
If your occassion is not fancy then modify the gathering and adorn it with appropriate decorations/accessories.

As long as it covers the table all the way. I've seen it done!
if you have a 72" round table, and can only find an 84" round tablecloth, it'll only hang over the edge a couple inches.
Put two rectangular cloths on the table at 90 degrees to one another. That way there will by symmetry. Should look pretty classy, actually. But what's your objection to the 84" round? Seem too short to you? That's roughly six inches of overhang, which is a little short. But it may be nice, if the cloths are classy enough.
YOU COULD GET TWO CLOTHS THAT WILL BE BIG ENOUGH IF YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER, OVER LAP THEM A LITTLE THEN PLACE AN INEXPENSIVE RUNNER ON THERE TO COVER IT IF YOU GET DESPERATE. JUST A THOUGHT....
yea u can cuz i have a oval kind of table and a rectangler table cloth and i also have a circle table and a square table cloth
An 84" tablecloth will hang over 6" on each side which should be just right. Otherwise, if it's a paper or plastic tablecloth you're looking for given it's at a party supply store, just cut a rectangular one to fit.
Try tying the ends up to the table legs with ribbons. You can use some silk flowers and secure under the ribbons also.
