I have a large table (which it would be too much work to transfer to excel
because of formatting within cells) that is not formatting as I ask it to.
History: The table (and I have multiple files like this) is set to A4 paper
in landscape direction and runs from anywhere between 3 pages to 20 pages in
length. The margins to hold all the columns (with font size at a minimum) are
down to .25". The first page only of the doc has a large header taking up
about 2" of space, with subsequent pages having a header of a single 12 font
size line.
In previous Word versions i could set the first row as the header row and
have it reappear on subsequent pages. This is not working in Word 2007, even
when I highlight the row in question and turn on the function in the table
format/row options.
To get around this, I tried to highlight the row in question and pasting it
into the header of subsequent pages. What happened is the row at the top of
the pages 2-N gets overlapped with the header. When I manipulate the gutter
and or margins, i end up with a loss of half of the first page to the
header, i.e. the gutter doesn't seem to be able to be manipulated for page 1
and different configuration for pages 2-N.
I have also tried cutting and pasting the the table into a new document, in
case any formating created in older Word versions was the problem. The
problem is still there.
Anyone have any suggestions?
