how to assign a table row as a header?

[pep000]

I have created a table with muliple rows and columns. The table is a list of
steps for people to follow. There are ten category rows, and each category
has numerous steps in rows below it. My problem is the following: I would
like to enable "Repeat Header Rows" for those category rows whose steps
continue onto additional pages. However, Word 2007 only recognizes the top
category row ("Collaboration") as a header. The other category rows must
only be viewed by Word as simple rows, and thus I cannot instruct Word to
repeat them across other pages. "Collaboration" is the only header row that
repeats from page to page, but there are nine other category rows, so this
isn't what I want to accomplish.

So my question is this: How can I assign a header value to those table rows
that I want Word to continue as labels on the top of other pages? Actually,
I would like to assign header values to all category rows, whether or not
their sub-categories continue across multiple pages. I did not find answers
to my question from within Word's help menu.

Thanks.

You didn't find anything in Help because this can't be done in Word. Only
rows at the beginning of a table can be identified as heading rows. You
will have to split the table in order to make the category rows heading
rows.
