	You may alternatively establish column headers for the ''entire'' row of header labels, using the '''''Header Row Extractor''''' property. Instead of configuring each '''Data Column's''' '''''Header Extractor''''', you would configure an extractor to return the whole table's row of column headers and use named instances (either Named Groups or child extractors) to establish each '''Data Column's''' header.

	Many tables label the columns so the reader knows what the data in that column corresponds to. How do you know the unit price for an item on an invoice? Typically, that item is in a table and one of the columns of that table is labeled "Unit Price" or something similar. Once you read the labels for each column (also called "column headers"), you the reader know where the table begins (below the column headers) and can identify the data in each row (by understanding what the column headers refer to).
