how to assign a table row as a header? pep000 12/15/2008 1:37:01 AM I have created a table with muliple rows and columns. The table is a list of steps for people to follow. There are ten category rows, and each category has numerous steps in rows below it. My problem is the following: I would like to enable "Repeat Header Rows" for those category rows whose steps continue onto additional pages. However, Word 2007 only recognizes the top category row ("Collaboration") as a header. The other category rows must only be viewed by Word as simple rows, and thus I cannot instruct Word to repeat them across other pages. "Collaboration" is the only header row that repeats from page to page, but there are nine other category rows, so this isn't what I want to accomplish. So my question is this: How can I assign a header value to those table rows that I want Word to continue as labels on the top of other pages? Actually, I would like to assign header values to all category rows, whether or not their sub-categories continue across multiple pages. I did not find answers to my question from within Word's help menu. Thanks.

Only rows at the beginning of a table can be identified as heading rows. You will have to split the table in order to make the category rows heading rows. -- Suzanne S.
