  1. Use light grey to indicate header row - highlight the header row, go to Table DesignShading and choose the lightest grey at the top left which is called 'White, Background 1, Darker 5%'.
  2. Header row text in bold

The header row of each table must be tagged for accessibility. Do this by highlighting the header row, going to the Table Layout tab  and click the Repeat header rows button. The ostensible point of this is to make header rows appear over multiple pages, but it also has the effect of tagging the header row for accessibility and so should be done even if the table is on one page.

As a general rule, text in a table should be aligned top left of cells and data top right.

Align content in a table use the Alignment buttons under the Layout tab i.e. highlight a column and select top left , or top right and so on. DO NOT USE THE SPACE BAR TO POSITION CONTENT IN TABLES - use the align functionality.

Numbers must include the thousand comma, that is: 11,328 not 11328.
