repeat headers Neil Watterson 29.09.2006 00:17:02 How do I repeat headers for 3 seperate tables spanning multiple pages? When I have it repeat, it only repeats for the last table, not the first 2. Is it possible and how? Thanks....Neil

Re: repeat headers "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 29.09.2006 03:21:53 I'm not sure I understand what you're wanting or what you're getting. Table heading rows repeat only for the tables they're in. That is, Row 1 of Table 1, if set as a heading row, will repeat for the length of Table 1. Then you break to Table 2, and its heading row repeats for its length, and so on. If you want overall headings to repeat for all the tables, try putting the text in the document header (the tables will need to be in a separate section). -- Suzanne S.

Re: repeat headers Neil Watterson 29.09.2006 14:31:02 Hi Suzanne, what I am looking to do is have 3 separate tables in a word doc that may or may not roll to a new page (each table may be more than 1 page long). Each table is different and has different column headings that I want to repeat on the new page if it extends that far. I set each table properties to repeat header row at top of next page but this only works for the last table. I have read Microsoft help and it states it doesn't work if you have page breaks in the table (or multiple tables). I am looking for a way around this....any thoughts? "Suzanne S.

Re: repeat headers "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 29.09.2006 15:51:45 I'm not sure what you're doing wrong, but here is how to do it right: 1. In Print Layout view, click on the table handle of the first table to select the entire table. Go to the Row tab of Table Properties and clear the check box for "Repeat as heading row." This will ensure that none of the non-heading rows had this property set inadvertently. 2. Now select just the first row (or however many of the beginning rows you want repeated) and do Table | Heading Rows Repeat. You can have as many heading rows as you want, but they must be contiguous and include the first row in the table. 3. Repeat this process for each of the other two tables. 4. You can have manual page breaks in a table without splitting it if, instead of pressing Ctrl+Enter to insert the page break, you format the row you want on a new page as "Page break before" (Line and Page Breaks tab of Format | Paragraph). Often this can be avoided by using other formatting, however; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFms/ControlPgBrksInTables.htm -- Suzanne S.
