Chapter 8 Using Tables 187

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 198 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.

If an inline table spans pages, columns, or text boxes and you want to repeat header

rows in each, choose Format > Table > Header Rows > “Repeat Header Rows on Each

Page.” Editing the text or changing the look of a header row in one place changes it

consistently throughout the table.

Here are ways to add or delete header rows or header columns:

Select a table or an element in it. Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Table button, m

click Table, and then click the appropriate Headers & Footer button. Choose the

number of header rows or header columns from the pop-up menu.

Select a table or an element in it, and then choose Format > Table > Header Rows or m

Table > Header Columns. Then choose the number of header rows or header columns

from the submenu.

If a table spans pages and you want to repeat headers at the top of each page, click m

Inspector in the toolbar, click the Table button, click Table, click the Headers button,

and then choose “Repeat Header Cells on Each Page.”

Header cells play an important role in making formulas in table cells easier to read

and create. For more information about this topic, choose Help > “iWork Formulas and
