WORD TABLES

[Judy]

Word does not continue a table heading if I insert a hard page break. This
is frustrating as I may only have half a page of text in a table and I have
to enter down to the next page - not very professional.

Could you please tell me what other way is there to continue with my table
heading instead of hitting the enter key, which sometimes can be quite a few
times.

I look forward to your feedback

Select the row you want to appear at the top of the next page and go to
Format | Paragraph | Line and Page Breaks and check the box for "Page break
before." See also

If you insert a manual page break in a table, you split the table in two
separate tables. That is why the heading does not repeat in the next page -
the two tables are no more connected.

What to do instead:
Select the row that you want to start on a new page, then select Format >
Paragraph > Line and Page Breaks tab and turn on "Page break before". The
result is that you still have one table and the header will repeat on the
next page.
