Repeat Vertical Heading

Is there a way to repeat vertical headings on consecutive pages when the rows
that the heading applies to runs over 2 or more pages? (By vertical
headings, I mean a heading that was turned vertically inside merged cells in
a single column).

There is no cell indicator on the consecutive page(s) and the only way I
found possible is through a text box.

Thanks

Select the heading row of the table and, on the Table menu, click
"Heading Rows Repeat".

Note that if you inserted a page break to move rows of the table to
the following page, you have in fact created a second table, and the
heading row won't repeat. Delete the page break and the paragraph mark
between tables so that they merge. Select the row which should begin a
new page, and click FormatParagraph. On the Line and Page Breaks tab,
check the "Page break before" option; this will create the desired
effect without splitting the table.

Thanks for the response, however, I am already trying what you suggested.
The dilemma is I have 1 row heading going horizontally (repeats on
consecutive pages) but I also have a heading that goes vertically along the
side of the page and needs to repeat also on the consecutive page. Hope this
explains, if not, I can post an example file.

Thanks

Are you saying that you want the left-most *column* to repeat? That
can't be done. "Heading rows repeat" apply to table *rows*, only.

Stefan,

Yes, the left most column is used as a heading. I guess I will keep using
text boxex on the consecutive pages if there is no other solution.

Thanks for the help.

I'm trying to understand this - and failing

You have a heading *row* which repeats and you also want the left hand
*column* to repeat? With a structure like that the table can't logically
overflow onto a second page. It sounds like each page needs to be a self
contained table. What am I missing?

If your document is basically a single large table, consider using
Excel instead, which has the functionality to have both heading rows
and heading columns.
