WORKING WITH DOCUMENTS

To create a table with collapsible sections
A table that has collapsible sections is called a table with row captions. Row captions look like maximize and minimize buttons for windows, and are used to expand and collapse rows. Captions allow you to hide information in one row, but display information in another.

This is an example of a table with three rows (Caption 1, 2, and 3) and two columns, with the first captioned row expanded:
