How to Anchor Title/Caption to Table?

[Susieber]

I've never been able to figure this out. I put a title above each table in my
document. But, if the automatic pagination causes the header row of the table
to jump to the next page, it doesn't take the line of title text with it. Is
there a way to do this with a style? I've tried selecting "Keep with next"
and "Window/orphan control" and the various table options that are supposed
to prevent my header row from breaking across pages too, but what I end up
with (in one example) is this:

Table Title
Header Row (repeating)
<page break>
Header Row

This is terrible! Any ideas? TIA,

Susie

I do this all the time.

If the Table Title is set to "Keep with Next" then it will follow the table
to the next page whenever the table's first row moves the next page (whether
it is a Heading Row Repeat or not).

The only exception I have seen is if the whole (or a too large portion) of
the document is set to "Keep with Next". Then, Word has no choice and it
must break the Keep with Next sequence somewhere or it would add page ad
infinitum. In such a case, your Table Tile could be orphaned alone on a
different page.

Merci, Jean-Guy. Funny, I did have the style configured to "Keep with Next"
and it wasn't working for this one table. But I just made a change to a
_different_ table in the doc and all of a sudden, all tables were paginating
properly. (Go figure.)
