Table: Setting default: Heading rows repeat and keep with next

[Clive Long,UK]

Hi,

Is it possible to set default for NEW tables in all Word documents
so that ALL have the properties:

HEADING ROWS REPEAT
KEEP First row with Next

??

Thanks

Ow... never use keep with next in *every* row of a table. If you do this,
and your table spans across pages, some printer drivers will get very
confused and Word may not print the table at all. Only ever use keep with
next in a table when you really need it. And don't forget that if you have
used this in the last row of a table, and then add a row, Word copies the
formatting to the new row, so you will need to clear it.

Clive was proposing to set "Keep with next" only for the first (heading)
row.

Let me clarify

I should have written

KEEP With next on HEADER only to avoid table header at bottom of page
and the text on next.

The point really is: how do I make particular table properties the
default for all NEW documents?

Thanks
