Tables
Last updated 6/6/2015
To number tables sequentially, such as Table 1A, Table 1B, add a variable to the table header or footer. (See
running captions for figures and tables
.)
Convert existing rows to header or footer rows
1
Select the rows at the top of the table to create header rows, or at the bottom of the table to create footer rows.
2
Choose Table > Convert Rows > To Header or To Footer.
Change header or footer row options
1
Place the insertion point in the table, and then choose Table > Table Options > Headers And Footers.
2
Specify the number of header or footer rows. Blank rows may be added to the top or bottom of the table.
3
Specify whether the information in the header or footer appears in every text column (if text frames have more than
one column), once per frame, or only once per page.
4
Select Skip First if you don’t want the header information to appear in the first row of the table. Select Skip Last if
you don’t want the footer information to appear in the last row of the table.
The Skip First option is especially useful if you want to indicate that the header or footer is continued. For example,
for a table that spans multiple pages, you may want the header text to be “Table 2 (Continued).” Since you don't want
“(Continued)” to appear at the beginning of the table, select Skip First, and simply type Table 2 in the first row of
the table.

Click OK.
Working with rows and columns
You can perform a number of functions to create similar rows and columns or duplicate them.
Primarily, you can perform the following functions on table's rows and columns:
• Drag-and-drop table rows and columns from one position to another within the same table.
• Duplicate rows and columns.
• Paste rows and columns before or after another row/column
• Copy a row's contents to a column or a column's to a row.
Drag-and-drop and duplicating rows/columns
You can move table rows and columns from one position to another within the same table. Follow these steps to drag-
and-drop and duplicate rows/columns.
1
Select the row or column you want to drag-and-drop to another row or column. Make sure, the whole column or
row has been selected. Partially selected rows or columns cannot be drag-dropped.
2
Hover over the selected rows, a unique cursor indicating that the selection can be moved is displayed.
