Adding Table Header Rows or Header Columns
Use header rows and columns when you want to label rows and columns. Header
rows and columns are formatted so that they stand out from the other (body) rows
and columns. Header rows are always directly above the topmost body row. Header
columns are always directly to the left of the leftmost body column.
You can use as many as ve header rows and ve header columns. Multiple headers
are useful when you want to assign names to two or more header columns or header
rows. To format a header to span rows or columns, merge the header cells, as “Merging
Table Cells” on page 83 describes.
If a table contains both header rows and header columns, the top left cell or cells
are considered to be part of the header row. Header columns appear below any
header rows.
Header rows and header columns can be set to appear at the beginning of the table
and on each page if the table spans more than one page. In Print View, click the
appropriate header button in the format bar and choose “Repeat Header Rows on
Each Page.” If a table spans multiple pages, editing the text or changing the look
of a header row or column in one place changes it consistently throughout the table.
To learn about Print View, see “ Â Dividing a Sheet into Pages” on page 39.
To learn about keeping headers in view when not working in Print View, see Â
“Freezing Table Header Rows and Header Columns” on page 60.
Here are ways to add or delete header rows or header columns:
If a table has no headers, select the table and click a Header button in the format bar m
to add one.
Click it again to remove the header.
