Table headers/footers and layout
I'm using Microsoft Word 2003 and I have a few questions regarding
table formatting, layout, etc. FYI, the styles I have set up include: o Table Caption - paragraph style for the caption preceding the table o Table Text - paragraph style for all text inside tables o Strong - character style for emphasizing the table header contents o Table Comments - paragraph style for commentary text following the table A few questions: Repeating Table Captions Is it possible to get the caption to repeat along with the header rows when the table spans multiple pages? Is this common or even recommended? Repeating Table Footers The table comment lines that follow the tables usually contain information that helps the reader interpret the table (e.g. S = supported, NS = not supported, etc.). Up to now I've been putting extremely important "table key" information in a repeating header row, but I'm curious if Word supports a repeating table footer or something. Does it? Layout of Table Footers Most of the tables are smaller than the paragraph width and are cenetered. While making a Table Comments style helped standardize these paragraphs, now there's the issue of indenting all of them so that the information flows with the table (same paragraph width, etc.). I've played with adding this information to a final table row and removing most of the border lines, but I'm curious to know if there's a better alternative? Thanks! - Keith |
