Default Re Word 2003: How do I define a cell as a header cell?

You can define the entire first row(s) as headers, but not just some of
the
cells in those first rows.


How do I do that? I've looked everywhere.


Table | Heading Rows Repeat (with row(s) selected) or select the row and
mark it on the Row tab of Table Properties.

Thank you for the prompt reply.

You cannot assign a "Column header" status to the first column(s) like
you
can with the first row(s).


Bummer. We are State government, and must comply with the federal §508
standards. Part 1194.22(g) wants the top row and left column defined as
headers. The reason is that assistive tech (screen readers) will be able
to
read the column and row header for each table cell. (JAWS simply assumes
this, but we must do it anyway.) I was hoping to avoid re-tagging
everything
in Acrobat after conversion.

Thanks,
