Result of choosing Fit to Page
As with Fit to Contents, Fit to Page does not affect the height of rows unless it causes some
wrapped text to “unwrap”.
Create a table header
Tables can have row and/or column headers. However, there is nothing unique about them they are
simply either rows at the top that have no (or fewer) cells, or columns at the side that have no (or
fewer) cells.
Create a column header
1. Put your insertion point in the top row.
2. Click the Insert Row Above button on the Table palette (as illustrated in Table 8 on page 147),
or choose Row Above from the Insert submenu of the Table menu.
3. Select the cells in the row that you want to make into the header and click the Merge Cells
button on the Table Cells palette (as illustrated in Figure 133 on page 148), or choose Merge
Cells from the Table menu.
