    > The existing table has no Heading Row.

    Create a new empty table of the named format, with the desired number of various rows and columns.

    Save the file.

    Select and cut* the content out of the old table.

    Paste it into body row 1 of the new one.

    Delete old table.

    Add text to new heading row(s).

    Yup. This is a shortcoming of FM's table support.

    * Copy is OK as long as there are no Markers in the table.


    Even easier, when the table is selected, use Table > Add Rows or Columns... and then specify the number of heading rows required:

    Then just cut & paste the rows into the new heading rows.

    Click in current Heading row.

    Table > Add Rows or Columns

    <*> Add [ 1 ] Row(s): Above Selection

    [ Add ]

    Restoring a heading row to a table without one is another matter.

    Thanks Error7103,

    The existing table has no Heading Row.

    So will I be able to create or assign new Heading Rows for the existing table???

    Thanks.
