Using a Table Header Row or Column
Use header rows and columns to label the data in rows and columns. Header rows and
columns are formatted so that they stand out from the other rows and columns. A
header row consists of the topmost cell in each column. A header column consists of
the leftmost cell in each row.
Header rows and header columns appear at the beginning of the table and on each
page if the table spans more than one page. If a table spans multiple pages, editing the
text or changing the look of the header row or column in one place changes it
consistently throughout the table.
You can’t split a header row or footer row into multiple rows or header columns into
multiple columns.
Here are ways to add or delete a header row or column:
m
Select the table and then click the appropriate Header button in the Format Bar.
If the table has no header row or column, one is added. If the table has a header row or
column, it’s deleted.
m
