table headers in MS Word 2010

Hi,
I will admit upfront that I am no MS any-office-product specialist. But I am attempting to make some tables in a Word document and want them to be marked up properly. In the Table Tools ribbon in the Table Styles Options, I have header row checked. Is that all I need to do? I selected my first row before I checked it, hoping that that would apply the headers to the first row, but when I bring focus to the subsequent rows the checkbox still stays checked. How do I know that it has been done correctly? In html, I can just look in the code for <th> tags, but not so on a Word doc.

Thanks for any advice.
