Table header setting is different with table instant formatting (table style setting). In table instant formatting, the cells were marked like header by setting different color scheme from other table cells. But actually they are the same normal table cells. While in table header features setting, table cells are marked header internally. In current implementation, table header setting is not combine with table instant formatting. So, table cells marked as table header do not apply the table instant formatting style automatically.
Table header cell merge with normal cell is not permitted
Cell has both row and column header properties can not be merged with other headers unless headers have same row and column header property.
The following table lists all merge operations:
Both: can be merged vertically and horizontally.
No vertical: cells which are located in different rows can not be merged together.
No horizontal: cells which are located in different columns can not be merged together.
Neither: both no vertical and no horizontal.
Cell | Normal cell | Cell in column header | Cell in row label |
---|---|---|---|
Normal cell | Both | Neither | Neither |
Cell in column header | Neither | No vertical | Neither |
Cell in row label | Neither | Neither | No horizontal |
When performing sorting operation on a table, the column header not involved in sorting by default.
If header columns are not selected during sorting, the header columns are not involved in sorting and will not change their position, otherwise header columns will adjust their position according to row change.
If a table with header merged with other tables:
If it is the first table to be merged, the header row information is remain no change. That is, the first table header information in the first table will apply to whole table after merged.
If it is not the first table, the table header row information will be ignored, the table header row information will change to normal cells.
If table with different layout, the header column information will automatically be removed. The content in the header is remained. In another case, even two tables with same layout, the column header information may not be applied because the column width difference.
Table split on a table with header information set, a pupup dialog will show to let you decide if the split table should keep the heading information.
If your choose Copy heading option, the 2 new tables will automatically inherit the header properties of old table.
If your choose Custom Header ( Apply style ) or Custom Header, an empty header row is added to the second table. Header column will still remain unchanged if it is set.
If you choose other 3 options in the dialog, the new table will not have the header properties. Header column properties will be removed too, only the content of the header column is kept.
