Formatting Columns

[Debbie Flathers]

I have created a table that the first column has notes as reminders to users
on what not to include in the data gathered. The column runs the length of
the table and needs to repeat again on any subsequent pages with the same
info from the first page. I know how to get rows to repeat on a Word Table
and know how to get what I want in Excel, but this particular table needs to
be done in Word and I can't figure this one out, is this possible? Can
someone help me?

Instead of making it a genuine part of the table, make it part of the header
(so it automatically repeats on every page) and just position it so it looks
like part of the table.

First cut the instructions to the clipboard. Delete the first column. Go to
Table > Table Properties and set the "Indent from left" to the width of the
original left column, so the rest of the table appears at the same place on
the page as before.

Put the cursor in the header. You can choose to insert either a one-cell
table or a text box. In either case, drag it to the position and size of the
original left column. Paste in the instructions. Close the header.
