Numbered headings in tables

[Felix]

Hi !

I have a document that is divided into several chapters (Heading 1). Within
each chapter there are a number of pages, and each page contains a table. All
relevant text for the page is contained within the table. Currently, the
first line of each page is formatted as Heading 2 outside of the table.

I would like to eliminate that line if possible and have the correct Heading
2 number in the first row header of the table. Is there any reliable way to
do this in Word, or am I just wasting my time trying ? What happens if I
insert a page afterwards ?

Thanks !

I must not be understanding what you're asking because I don't see what kind
of problems you anticipate from doing this the way you would like.

You don't make it clear why you think that a Heading 2 won't work in a
table. It is just a style and should be fine. What do you think will or
won't happen?

Of course, if the table ran to another page, the heading would be repeated
if it was tagged as a heading row.

Well, I've been trying to place the header 2 in the first row of my table,
and numbering restarts at 1 in each table. If I click on "Continue
numbering", I get unreliable results. Once I manage to get everything in
order, if I insert a page, my numbering goes all out of whack again and I can
spend hours fixing it. These documents are in the 100-300 page range.

Btw, I'm working with Word 2002 (Office XP). :-|

How have you set up the numbering? Are you using outline numbering, seq
numbering, caption numbering or something else? If outline numbering, is the
heading 2 numbering set to restart after a heading 1 and do any heading1s
appear before the heading 2s?
