Table Title: Table number and table title (together on one line).
Table Accessibility Caption: The alternative caption/title for the table, if presentTitle Continued: A paragraph following the Table Title that acts as a continuation of the title.
Table Head: Table head heading cells at the top of the columns within of the Word table.
Table Subhead: Table internal heading(s) (typically spanning multiple columns).

For ease of table styling and to ensure that all paragraphs in the document are properly tagged, Inera recommends that table footnotes be placed after the table (i.e., outside of the table grid), as in the following Simple Table example, although this is not a requirement.
When using the eXtyles palette, eXtyles normally applies the selected style to a whole an entire row of cells at once. To apply the selected style otherwise, use the modifier keys as indicated in the following table while pressing the relevant button on the palette.
Key | Action |
|---|---|
(none) | Applies the specified style to an entire row (from the current cell to the end of the row). |
Shift | Applies the specified style to the remainder of the table (from the current cell to the end of the rowtable). |
Control | Applies the specified style one paragraph within a cell at a time. If there is only one paragraph in a cell, this behavior is the same as Shift + Control. |
Shift + Control | Applies the specified style to one cell at a time. |
