To display only the Header Row in the Quick Style gallery while hiding First Column and Banded Rows, which option should you configure in the Table Style Options?

• A. Uncheck First Column and Banded Rows; ensure Header Row is selected
• B. Uncheck Header Row; keep First Column and Banded Rows checked
• C. Uncheck All options
• D. Check Only First Column and Banded Rows

Answer: (A)

Table Styles in Word let you decide which parts of a table the style will apply to, using options like Header Row, First Column, and Banded Rows. To display only the header row in the Quick Style gallery while hiding the first column and the banded rows, you should enable the Header Row option and disable First Column and Banded Rows. This makes the gallery show the header formatting—without applying header styling to the rest of the table’s specific features—so you don’t see shading or formatting on the first column or on alternating rows. If you kept First Column or Banded Rows checked, their formatting would appear in the gallery; if you unchecked the header row, the header formatting wouldn’t show at all.
