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 in a table. Header rows consist of the topmost cells in each column. Header
columns consist of the leftmost cells in each row.
You can use as many as five header rows and five 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 described
in “Merging Table Cells” on page 169.
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.
To add header rows or columns, first select a table.
Here are ways to add header rows or header columns:
Select the number of headers you want from the header rows and columns pop-up
m
menus in the format bar.
Choose Format > Table > Header Rows or Header Columns >
m
n (the number of header
rows or header columns) from the submenu.
Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Table inspector button, and then click Table.
m
Choose the number of header rows or header columns from the Headers & Footer
pop-up menu.
Delete header rows and columns as you would delete any rows or columns. For details,
see “Deleting Table Rows and Columns” on page 162.

Header cells play an important role in making formulas in table cells easier to read
and create. To learn about the suite of functions and formulas available in iWork, and
