Table Headings on subsequent pages

[mlewis]

I can not make the table headings repeat on subsequent pages in my Word
Table. This has happened from time to time on different computers, etc., but
this is a new computer and a new Microsoft Office package AND the first table
at my new workpace. The page breaks are created by Word; I'm using the Print
Layout View; and I've clicked the heading Rows Repeat on the Table menu.
HELP! Please.

Check that you haven't set *every* row to repeat.

Thanks for writing, Jezebel. I don't even know where one would set "every"
row to repeat. After highlighting Row 1; in Table Properties, Row Tab; I
highlighted the *Allow row to break across pages* and *Repeat as header row
at the top of each page,* but depending how Word is feeling, it may or may
not do either. This had been a problem for YEARS and I always blamed whoever
used the computer before. THIS time, however, both the computer and the
software are brand-spankin' new.

Do you have any other thoughts?

You should not set the "Allow row to break across pages" for the heading
row. You do not want it to do that; you want it to repeat.

Hi I'm having exactly the same problem as mlewis. Doug I followed your advice
and am still not having any success. Do you have any further suggestions?

Thanks very much

Is there a manual page break in the table? If so, it has been split into
two, which explains why the heading row refuses to repeat. To force a
certain row to the next page, instead do this: Select the row and click
Format | Paragraph. On the Line and Page Breaks tab, click the "Page
break before" option, and click OK.

And in order to "undo" a split, just display nonprinting marks (press
Ctrl+Shift+8) and then delete the paragraph mark (¶) between the tables.
