Add table headers and footers

Add additional headers or footers to a table. By default, a table has a single header (Any Page Header).

About this task

Do not use the Toolbox to add a header or footer to a table.

  1. Right click on a cell in a row or column.
    Which cell you click into is not relevant, as you will be specifying the type of header or footer to add.
  2. From the context menu, select Insert Table Item.
    A second context menu displays with options.
  3. To add a header, select Insert Header. You are asked to choose between an any page header, a first page header, an even page header, or an odd page header. Select the appropriate header type.
    If an option is grayed out, then that specific header has already been added to a report. To provide two rows for a specific header, you do not add two headers of the same type; you add two rows to the specific header type.
  4. To add a footer, select Insert Footer. You are asked to choose between an any page footer, a first page footer, an even page footer, or an odd page footer. Select the appropriate footer type.
    If an option is grayed out, then that specific footer has already been added to a report. To provide two rows for a specific footer, you do not add two footers of the same type; you add two rows to the specific footer type.
A new row is added to the existing table for the added header or footer. Headers are displayed at the top of the report design document, while footers are displayed at the bottom.
