Hi =?Utf-8?B?UGV0ZXIgQmVyZw==?=,

I have tryed your suggestion, but receives an error saying: "Cannot access
individual rows in this collection because the table has vertically merged
cells"?

"Vertically merged cells" means that not every row / column has the same
number of cells (some have been selected and merged into a single cell).

Hmmm. Since you can set the HeaderRows in the user interface, it ought to be
possible using a macro. We just have to out-smart Word...

See if this does the job:

Sub SetHeaderRowsWithMergedCells()
Dim tbl As Word.Table

For Each tbl In ActiveDocument.Tables
tbl.Select
Selection.Cells(1).Select
Selection.Expand wdRow
Selection.Rows.HeadingFormat = True
Next
End Sub
