WORD TABLES

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.
