Adding header and footer rows to tables

You can specify that header and footer rows repeat automatically in continued instances of tables. Even better, header and footer rows are automatically synchronized, so any changes in the text are reflected throughout all instances of a continued table. To add header and footer rows to a table:

  1. Choose Table > Table Break to display the Set Table Break dialog box.
  2. Check Height.
  3. Select the first row of the table and choose Table > Repeat As Header to specify the first row as an automatic header row. You can also select multiple rows at the top of a table to repeat as headers.
  4. Select the last row of the table and choose Table > Repeat As Footer to specify the last row as an automatic footer row. Again, you can select multiple rows to repeat as footers.

    You can uncheck Repeat as Header or Repeat as Footer in the Table menu any time to remove the header or footer rows from continued tables.

    In this continued table, the first two rows — the table heading and the column heads — repeat as header rows in the continued instances of the table.

Note: Once you add automatic header rows and footer rows, the remaining table rows are considered “body rows.” Options in the Select submenu of the Table menu let you select all the Header Rows, Footer Rows, and Body Rows in any instance of a continued table for formatting.
