1.
In the workspace, open the Design tab. Right-click the first line of the table if you want to
add a header row, or the last line if you want to add a footer row.
2.
On the shortcut menu select Row > Insert below or Insert above. The new row will be
added to either the header or footer.
3.
Right-click the row and choose Row > Show. Now you have the following options:
l
A header row marked as a Transport line will not appear at the very top of the
table, but only on following pages if the table gets split over multiple pages. Note
that only the first row that is marked as Transport line will be taken into account. To
make a header row appear at the start of the table and on following pages, make
sure that it is not marked as Transport line.
l
A footer row can appear before each page break (Before page break), if the table
gets split over multiple pages, or only at the end of the table (At end of table), or
before each page break and at the end (Always).
You can fill additional rows as usual. You could for example drag a data field to the new row
(see "Variable Data" on page534) or type in the cells.
Examples
For a few examples of how to adjust the default subtotals footer and (transport line) header, see
the following how-to: Custom table overflow footers.
Styling a Dynamic Table
The Insert Detail Table wizard lets you select a style, but if you want to apply a different style to
the table, choose No Style when creating the table. Then the style of a Dynamic Table is
completely customizable: you can change the font, font size and color, the borders, the cell
padding (the distance between the edge of the cell and its content), and the background color
or image of the table and its cells. See "Styling a table" on page505.
Note
When generating output from a template, a Dynamic Table is created slightly faster when it's styled
via Cascading Style Sheets than when it's styled with local formatting. Therefore the preferred way
to style a dynamic table is via style sheets.
