Sharing Table Columns and the Split Heading Text

The table has three columns: the reason for sharing, whether Stride Bank, N.A. shares, and whether the customer can limit that sharing. The saved text splits the two right-hand headings across lines — "Does Stride Bank, N.A." and "Can you limit this" continue in "Share? sharing?" — so they read as "Does Stride Bank, N.A. Share?" and "Can you limit this sharing?". Each row states its values in that column order.

Share? sharing?

Qualifications & exceptions

  • The split heading is an artifact of how the saved text extracts the table; the words are quoted unchanged.
  • Row values are read in column order: reason, whether Stride shares, whether the customer can limit.
