You don't need to uncheck multicolumn in the headers, just keep the width field empty, see the attached file I sent in the previous mail.

Udi, The column headers are in the first row, and centered. Unchecking multicolumn for the two header cells doesn't allow me to center them above the left-aligned cells beneath them. If you will keep the column width field in the settings empty, they will have the same width as the rest of the column (currently they have widths of 45% and 55% of \textwidth, thus the table flows out of the screen). Change the column width only when the cursor is below the headings. With the cursor in each of the header cells, there's no width, but the alignment is Left. The top and bottom borders for the first row, and the bottom border for the last row slightly overlap the text area. I'll ignore the left-aligned column headers and slight overhang of the borders because they're not critical.

Paul, Udi:
I placed the cursor in a cell below the first row (for each column) and
changed the widths from inches to % text area (43%, 53%). Not using the top
row cell made a difference.
The table heading and the cell underlines overhang the right margin a bit. I
don't know how fix this.
MWE attached.

Tables: Setting width for entire column
I've looked at the table settings, the User Guide, and the Wiki without learning how to set the width of an entire column. One table has many rows (it's a multipage table), and I'm able to change the width of only the cell in which the cursor is located. What am I missing?
