Columns as row headers

[Allison]

Word 2003, Win XP

Is there a way to designate a column (first column on the left) as a ROW
header? Such that the text at the top of the column repeats at the top of
the new page when the other columns in the row break to another page?

This is not the same as designating rows as headers for columns.

The only command that lets you automatically repeat table contents when a
table spans more than one page is “Heading Rows Repeatâ€.

You could split the row into two and insert the text to be repeated in the
first cell of both rows (the second text could e.g. be made as a
cross-reference to the first). You could apply “Page break before†to the
second row to force it to always start on a new page. But you could easily
end with undesired results if further editing of the document moves content
up or down.
