Publication requires a formal table! I have not found any way to set up a heading layout other than what is essentially the default.
Setting up a table, adding an extra row in the heading, setting "formal" The order attempted produces different results. (a) setting width for a multirow heading turns centred heading into left justified and unchangeable! (b) after both rows of a column heading contain text and in-line maths, the bounding line cannot be removed. > Any suggestions? > > Regards > Frank Salter Thanks for your help Frank
