Show, hide or edit a table name in Pages on Mac

When you add a table, its placeholder name (Table 1, for example) is hidden by default. You can show the name and edit it. No tables in a document can have the same name.

Show or hide a table name

Click the table, Control-click the row number for row 1, then choose Show Table Name or Hide Table Name.

Edit a table name

Triple-click the name at the top of the table, then type a new name.
To enclose the table name in a border, click the table, then in the Format sidebar, click the Table tab. Click the Table Outline pop-up menu, choose an outline style, then select the “Outline table name” tickbox.

To add a caption or label to a table, see Create a caption for an image or other object.
