# How To Create Accessible Tables

## 1. Creating your table using the editor toolbar. 

Select the table button in your toolbar. Mouse over "Table" and configure the number of rows and columns that you require to display your data.

## 2. Designate your header cells.

Place your cursor inside of a header cell. Select the table button and navigate to Cell > Cell Properties. Under the "Cell Type" dropdown menu, select, "Header cell". Repeat this process for every cell in your table. This applies to headers at the top of columns AND the beginning of rows.
