Table Title, Table Title Continued, Table Accessibility Caption

The styles Table Title, Table Title Continued and Table Accessbility Caption are all used for elements of the overall table caption, including the table number (if present). This content can be placed either inside or outside the Word table structure.

Table Head, Table Body, Table Footnote

Table Head is used for the column head cells at the top of the columns of the Word table. Table Body is used for the table body cells. Table Footnote is used for table footnotes. This style also includes paragraphs, such as table legends, that fall after the table body and span the width of the table but are not cited from within the table as a table footnote. Content styled as Table Footnote may be inside or outside the Word table structure. 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).

All tables, or content styled with the Table elements of the paragraph styles palette, must be in Word table format. Otherwise, export is likely to produce parsing errors. All content for each table should be in a single Word table. Splitting content for a single table across multiple Word tables will likely result in incorrect XML and may result in parsing errors.

The more formatting you set correctly in Word, the more that formatting will be correctly reflected in the XML (cell alignment, column widths, cell borders, cell shading). Note that eXtyles supports the use of the decimal tab in Word tables, as well as left- and right-aligned and centered content.
