Freezing Row
Is there a way to freeze rows in Word tables like you can
in Excel so the table headers are left at the top of the page? |

Freezing Row
Repeated table headings are visible only in print layout
view or when you print the document. Select the heading row or rows. The selection must include the first row of the table. On the Table menu, click Heading Rows Repeat. Note Microsoft Word automatically repeats table headings on new pages that result from automatic page breaks. Word does not repeat a heading if you insert a manual page break within a table. -----Original Message----- Is there a way to freeze rows in Word tables like you can in Excel so the table headers are left at the top of the page? . |

Freezing Row
Unfortunately, no, Word has nothing comparable to Freeze Panes (though I
often wish it did). I would be tempted to say that whenever you get involved in a table wide enough to require this, you should be thinking about working in Excel instead, especially since it would be rare to actually print such a wide table from Word. As for *long* tables, you can, as kchriqui points out, designate one or more rows at the top of the table as heading rows and they will repeat on each page. Unfortunately, not only can you see the repeated headings only in Print Layout view, you can't even see them there if your zoom level doesn't display the entire page and you scroll down to a point on the page where the headings are no longer visible. -- Suzanne S.

Freezing Row
I found using this function in MSWord 97 doesn't all ways
work. My solution is to copy a table "heading" from another doc that will repeat on the next page and paste imediately above my table. Any one else with this problem?

Freezing Row
Are you saying that setting a row as a heading doesn't make it repeat?
Remember, it must be the first row in the table (you can select multiple contiguous rows at the top, however), and you must be in Page Layout view to see it. -- Suzanne S.

Freezing Row
Yeah. It extends the selection (selection is styled
as "Normal") to the entire row and formats the selected row to bold with 4pt before & 2 pt after spacing then stops with the first row selected. These spacings I have set in a style called "Table" in Normal.dot. I am guessing that by me amending "Table" it may have caused this? -----Original Message----- Are you saying that setting a row as a heading doesn't make it repeat?

Freezing Row
If you are using a table style that has specific formatting for the heading
row, then setting a row as a heading presumably would change the formatting, but you can override this with direct formatting or modify the table style as needed. The only significant point is whether it repeats as a heading row on subsequent pages. -- Suzanne S.
