Adding Headers

In order for tables to be fully accessible, headers should be added. Table headers allow screen reading software to put your data in context, and are considered mandatory.

After you have added your content to the table, follow these steps to convert cells to a header:

1. Right click on a cell you want to change and select Cell...Table Cell Properties.
   
    
2. Set the Cell Type to Header.
   
    
3. Set the Scope to an appropriate value. This is usually Row.
     
4. Change the bottom drop down to the appropriate value. This is usually Update All Cells In Row.
   
     
5. Click the Update button.
