It sounds like what you're seeing is the Header Row Repeat feature. This
causes the header row at the top of the table to be repeated on subsequent
pages when the table continues on multiple pages. Click in the table, then,
in the Layout tab, see if Repeat Header Rows is active.
If you want the feature, but simply need to edit the source, then go to the
top of the table on the first page where it appears.
If you don't want the feature, then click it in the Layout tab to turn it
off.

I have a couple of documents from others including tables. These tables
have the top row with"headings", that cannot be entered, changed or
selected. It appears that the table can be copy/pasted with the top
heading cells intact and ineditable, the remainder of the cells accessible.
How is this done? I'm using Office 2007, but the documents were produced
in Word 2002 or 2003.
Thanks
