You can add formatting to headers and footers in your tables using a limited set of HTML tags. For example, you can change the font or make the text bold or italic.

To add formatting to headers and footers

1 In the Tables pane, select the table for which you want to change the headers and footers.

2 From the menu, choose Tables > Properties, and then click the Header and Footer tab.

3 In the header or footer position you want to change, click in front of the text that you want to format, and then type an opening HTML tag. This example highlights the word of in italics:

{TableNumber \p} of {TotalNumberOfTables \n}

4 Click at the end of the text that you want to format, and then type the corresponding closing HTML tag:

{TableNumber \p} of {TotalNumberOfTables \n}

Note To format a field code, place the formatting tags outside the field code markers {} as in this example, which highlights the table number and total number of tables in bold:

{TableNumber \p} of {TotalNumberOfTables \n}

5 Click OK to apply the changes to the table.
