Table header row won't repeat

[Ian-M]

I have a multipage table, no manual page breaks. The header row won't repeat
as it should. I have tried selecting "keep with next" on the header row. I
am sure no other rows are selected to repeat. Only the widow/orphan control
is selected in paragraph format.

But have you selected "Table", "Heading Row Repeats"?

Yes.

Is this *never* working, or only in that document?

Try creating a new table in a new Document window. Can you get the header
row to repeat in the new table/document?

If it works in a new document, then it's probable that the table in the
other document is corrupted.

There are a variety of ways to try to fix it... but, all the ones [I know
of] that work require a bit of effort... such as converting the existing
table to text, copying the text to a new document, then converting it back
into a table. Another "laundering" technique is to copy the table into
Excel, then copy it back into Word. Both techniques require a fair amount of
cleanup and reformatting.

Thanks Herb,
Yesterday I was able to "launder" the table by copying into WordPad then
back into Word. Not necessary to reformat; it was very easy. Also, where
someone else had mentioned this copy-paste-copy technique in another post in
this forum someone responded that it is not necessary. But when tried it
works very well.

I always include the caveat because I never know when there's going to be a
formatting issue I hadn't thought about it. Being a die-hard pessimist means
there's a constant stream of pleasant surprises.

FWIW, I also found that Heading Rows Repeat not always works properly.
In Word 2002 unchecking the Checked Heading Repeat and checking it
again suddenly gets it to work. Upon trial-and-error checking I found
that when you select the whole table the check Heading Rows Repeat
doesnt work (duhh!), not when more rows than a full page are selected.
So maybe an unintentional "selected table" (eg to apply a table style?)

Nope, the problem wasn't that easy. Also, I use Word 2003. I had checked,
unchecked, and checked again different combinations of header rows, and
messed with all of the possible combinations of paragraph line break
formatting. The only thing that worked was the simple copy and paste to
WordPad, copy back to an empty Word document. I would recommend this to
anyone who can't get their table headers to work right.

I have had the same problem in Word 2003. My workaround is to uncheck the
Repeat As Header Row, insert a new row anywhere in the table, recheck the
Repeat As Header Row and delete the dummy row.

I suspect that the key is to force Word to re-evaluate the table.

Ditto - Thank you Herb! I have a Mac and was able to copy my table into "TextEdit" and back and viola, the repeat header row function worked.

THANK YOU!
