A type of table that is the simplest among other table layouts. It has no table title or column headings and has no table borders
Leader Work
It also requires a descriptive statement or introductory statement so that the reader can understand the given figures.
True or False
We use leader work when there are one or more columns of figures that can be incorporated as a part of the textual presentation for a more organized presentation
False
We only use leader work when there are one or two columns of figures
It has column headings and table borders but does not have a table title and table number
Textual Tabulation
More complex than leader work but still requires an introductory statement.
The most complete type of table that contains the table number, table title, head note, box head, etc. It is a standalone table.
