Add table headers and footers
When you create a long table, the table may span more than one column, frame, or page. You can use headers or
footers to repeat the information at the top or bottom of each divided portion of the table.
You can add header and footer rows when you create the table. You can also use the Table Options dialog box to add
header and footer rows and change how they appear in the table. You can convert body rows to header or footer rows.
Header rows repeated once per frame
To number tables sequentially, such as Table 1A, Table 1B, and so on, add a variable to the table header or footer.
(See “Create running captions for figures and tables” on page 245.)
