Select entire the table and apply the font/style settings you want.(If you can’t see the blue dashed grid lines for the table, turn them on: Table Tools > Layout tab > View Gridlines.) Select the entire table, then go to Table Tools > Design tab, then select the Borders option for No Border.

You can deal with the font/style settings later for now, you want to get rid of the borders. By default, the table is inserted with borders and with the default font/style settings.In the example below, I wanted three columns and one row, so I clicked the third cell from the left on the top row of cells. On the Insert tab, click Table and then click the box corresponding to the last cell for the number of rows and columns for your header.Double-click in the empty area near the top of the page where the header will go.Here’s a very basic set of steps for setting up a header in Word 2007 and later you can use the same steps for setting up a footer. And if they are set up correctly, changing a page margin setting should automatically change the width of the header to match. Tables in headers/footers also let you easily have multiple lines of text - something that can be painful to achieve when using normal paragraphs and tabs. And with table cells controlling the alignment, you should be able to avoid using tabs altogether. Tables allow you to set up text and images in individual cells without affecting anything in the other cells. There’s a simple method for setting up headers and footers that are a little more complex than those provided by Word - use tables! (Before using tables, check out the supplied header/footer options in Word 2007 under the Insert tab > Header or Footer - one of them may suit you perfectly.) You get it all sorted, then decide to change the page margins a little and now everything’s out of whack again. You want to set up your own headers and footers, but you’re having trouble getting the center and right tabs to align properly, and the logo won’t stay put either.
