Creating table header rows and adjusting table rows

You can create a table header row. A header row displays at the top of the page each time the table spans a page break.

You can allow a table row to continue across pages. You can also change the height of a table row and the number of text lines per row, and you can align a table between the left and right page margins.

When you specify a fixed row height, the row stays at that height no matter how much text you insert in any cell in the row. As a result, some text might not display in a cell.
