Editing accessibility attributes for a table

If you did not add accessibility attributes for your table when you inserted it (see Inserting a table and adding content) and need to add them later, or if you need to edit accessibility attributes, you can do so in Code view or Design view.

To add or edit accessibility values for a table in Code view:

• Edit the appropriate attributes in the code.

  TIP

  To quickly locate the tags in the code, click in the table, then select the <table> tag in the tag selector at the bottom of the Document window.

To add or edit accessibility values for a table in Design view, do any of the following:

• To edit the table caption, highlight the caption, then type a new caption.
• To edit the caption alignment, place the insertion point in the table caption, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Edit Tag Code.
• To edit the table summary, select the table, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Edit Tag Code.
