Use header rows and columns to label the data in rows and columns. Header rows and 
columns are formatted so that they stand out from the other rows and columns. A 
header row consists of the topmost cell in each column. A header column consists of 
the leftmost cell in each row. 

Header rows and header columns appear at the beginning of the table and on each 
page if the table spans more than one page. If a table spans multiple pages, editing the 
text or changing the look of the header row or column in one place changes it 
consistently throughout the table.

You can’t split a header row or footer row into multiple rows or header columns into 
multiple columns.

m

Select the table and then click the appropriate Header button in the Format Bar.

column, it’s deleted.
