Yeah, but you see I don't want the text up there, only the “a”. The text itself will be below the grid, only the foot note symbol should be in the cell.

Example:

(a): this cell's content should be taken with a grain of salt

So what I want, is that when I click the cell, I want to edit the text “CellContent”. When I click the “(a)” I can create an event to edit the foot note text if I'd want that. The foot note text is written in the paragraph below the table.

To be concrete, I'm creating a time table and there will be, e.g., “11:00” in such a cell. There are exceptions to this time (e.g., holiday), and that's what the footnote will show. It could say “but 11:30 on holidays”..

I agree that using two cells probably is the best option here. I'll most likely put “CellContent” and “(a)” in two different, and align CellContent right and (a) left, making them sit close 🙂 Then I'd prefer having only one header for them, though, which was another question I raised.

Thanks for your inputs, they help me get closer to a solution! 🙂

Nobody has an opinion on this? 🙂

Guess I'll try to solve it using another column, and align them towards each other.. this will do, but brings me to another question:

Am I able to colspan the header but not the columns under it? Meaning I want a header “Location”, with two columns under it, one with name and one with the footnotes..
