Header Rows Will Not Repeat
For years I've been merrily making header rows in my tables repeat on
subsequent pages. Today is the day that I cannot make it happen. Perhaps there's a grimlin in my software, or just a hex on me... But whatever the reason, I cannot perform this simple task. Can anyone tell me why, after years of accomplishing this step with ease, I cannot make it happen today? Any info will be greatly appreciated! -- MargaretA |

Header Rows Will Not Repeat
Things to check:
Table Table Properties Table tab Text Wrapping must be set to None. The table must have no page breaks (which will actually split the table into more tables). Make sure that you have only the first row(s) and not the entire table set as heading rows. The heading row(s) must be the first row(s) in the table. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "MargaretA" wrote: For years I've been merrily making header rows in my tables repeat on subsequent pages.

Lene, my hero...
I didn't realize that the text wrapping must be set to NONE. Bingo! Everything's now as it should be, and my header repeats flawlessly.

I have spent ages on trying to solve the same problem in Office 2007, turning off the text wrapping solved it.
These forums are great Quote:

Header Rows Will Not Repeat
This is a very common problem if you work on tables in Print Layout view.
The slightest nudge of the table handle will cause the table to become wrapped. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Jade784" wrote in message ...

Header Rows Will Not Repeat
I have weird behaviour in some tables using Word 2007. The header repeats on
some pages and not on others. It doesn't seem to make any difference what the settings are. Text wrapping, allow to break, even the repeat header rows setting! Also the table style properties settings don't seem to make any difference. I'm really getting frustrated with this behaviour. Are any of you aware of bugs in word 2007 in this area or have I missed something out? I have never had these problems in earlier versions of word. Thanks a lot in advance.

'Text Wrapping' is only an option on TableTable PropertiesCell - even if I
select the whole table and turn it off, I still don't get repeating headers. "Lene Fredborg" wrote: Things to check: Table Table Properties Table tab Text Wrapping must be set to None.

On the Table tab of Table properties, there is a choice between "Around" and
"None." You want the latter. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "JoeBDox" wrote in message ...
