[Athen] Table header and list

[Susan Kelmer]

Robert would know, he is a screenreader user.  Both of these tables seem fine, but I think there would eventually be some confusion with the first table, since table headers seem to all have the same name.

Also, bulleted or numbered lists are no problem in a table.

Subject: [Athen] Table header and list

Hi everyone,

I have two questions I would like to ask the community.

First question:
Would having a table with the same header across majority of columns be an accessibility issue? Please see example table below.

Or should the table be created in this manner following a heading explaining what the table is? Please keep in mind this will be created in a word document.

Second question:
Would using a list in a table cell cause any issue?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts and inputs.
