Table header row won't repeat
I have a multipage table, no manual page breaks. The header row won't repeat
as it should. I have tried selecting "keep with next" on the header row. I am sure no other rows are selected to repeat. Only the widow/orphan control is selected in paragraph format. |

Table header row won't repeat
Is this *never* working, or only in that document?
Try creating a new table in a new Document window. Can you get the header row to repeat in the new table/document? If it works in a new document, then it's probable that the table in the other document is corrupted. There are a variety of ways to try to fix it... but, all the ones [I know of] that work require a bit of effort... such as converting the existing table to text, copying the text to a new document, then converting it back into a table. Another "laundering" technique is to copy the table into Excel, then copy it back into Word. Both techniques require a fair amount of cleanup and reformatting. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Ian-M" wrote in message ...

Table header row won't repeat
Thanks Herb,
Yesterday I was able to "launder" the table by copying into WordPad then back into Word. Not necessary to reformat; it was very easy. Also, where someone else had mentioned this copy-paste-copy technique in another post in this forum someone responded that it is not necessary. But when tried it works very well.

Table header row won't repeat
I always include the caveat because I never know when there's going to be a
formatting issue I hadn't thought about it. Being a die-hard pessimist means there's a constant stream of pleasant surprises. :-) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Ian-M" wrote in message ...

Table header row won't repeat
Nope, the problem wasn't that easy. Also, I use Word 2003. I had checked,
unchecked, and checked again different combinations of header rows, and messed with all of the possible combinations of paragraph line break formatting. The only thing that worked was the simple copy and paste to WordPad, copy back to an empty Word document. I would recommend this to anyone who can't get their table headers to work right. "Henk57" wrote: FWIW, I also found that Heading Rows Repeat not always works properly. In Word 2002 unchecking the Checked Heading Repeat and checking it again suddenly gets it to work. Upon trial-and-error checking I found that when you select the whole table the check Heading Rows Repeat doesnt work (duhh!), not when more rows than a full page are selected. So maybe an unintentional "selected table" (eg to apply a table style?) caused this behaviour?

Table header row won't repeat
I have had the same problem in Word 2003. My workaround is to uncheck the
Repeat As Header Row, insert a new row anywhere in the table, recheck the Repeat As Header Row and delete the dummy row. I suspect that the key is to force Word to re-evaluate the table. -- SueT "Ian-M" wrote: Nope, the problem wasn't that easy. Also, I use Word 2003.
