Result of choosing Fit to Page
As with Fit to Contents, Fit to Page does not affect the height of rows unless it causes some
wrapped text to “unwrap”.
Create table headers
Tables can have row and/or column headers. However, there is nothing unique about them they are
simply either rows at the top that have no (or fewer) cells, or columns at the side that have no (or
fewer) cells.
1. Put your insertion point in the top row.
2. Click the Insert Row Above button on the Table palette (as illustrated in Table 12 on page 201),
or choose the menu command Table > Insert > Row Above.
3. Select the cells in the row that you want to make into the header and click the Merge Cells
button on the Table Cells palette (as illustrated in Table 12 on page 201), or choose the menu
command Table > Merge Cells.

You can do a variety of things to make the header stand out. You can learn more about this in the
section “Make your tables stand out” on page 210.
