tables
In small or average-sized tables, place a horizontal line (as wide as the table) under the title, under the column headings, and below the table (between the table and sources or notes, if any). Delete vertical lines and extra horizontal lines. If the table is very large, shading every other line with a light color or inserting horizontal lines every three or four rows can help readers locate data.

Number tables in simple sequence or by section in long reports (Table 1, Table 2 or Table 1-1, Table 1-2, and so on). Center the table title (in title case) over the table (unlike a figure caption, which is sentence case and goes under the figure) and print the title in 10-pt. Arial bold; supplementary material in the title is not in bold. If possible, print tables in Arial, rather than Times New Roman. Define abbreviations in notes to the table if they are not obvious. Table notes are denoted by lowercase superscript letters (a, b, c) rather than footnote numbers or asterisks.
