This is a very common problem if you work on tables in Print Layout view.
The slightest nudge of the table handle will cause the table to become
wrapped.

Things to check:

Table Table Properties Table tab Text Wrapping must be set to None.
The table must have no page breaks (which will actually split the table
into
more tables).
Make sure that you have only the first row(s) and not the entire table
set
as heading rows.
The heading row(s) must be the first row(s) in the table.

For years I've been merrily making header rows in my tables repeat on
subsequent pages. Today is the day that I cannot make it happen.
Perhaps
there's a grimlin in my software, or just a hex on me...

But whatever the reason, I cannot perform this simple task. Can anyone
tell
me why, after years of accomplishing this step with ease, I cannot make
it
happen today?

Any info will be greatly appreciated!
