Repeat middle row as header on next page

K

Hi,

I have a table that cuts across 2 pages. I want to take a row that is
halfway down the table and make it the header row on the next page. This
option appears to be greyed out when I try toi apply it, however I can use
the header row from the table and apply this setting- does anyone know if it
is possible to apply this setting to a row that is in the middle of a table?

cheers,

Sorry, no... Word allows only the top row(s) of a table to be repeated.

You can sort of fake it by splitting the table between the row you want to
repeat and the row above it. Then format the paragraph mark that separates
the two pieces of the table so it has a font size of 1pt. Then you can
designate the new top row of the second piece as the repeating row.

This will work better if you don't have borders around the table.
