I'm trying to figure out how I created a table and set a row as a heading
row without any of these problems--must have used Table Properties. But it
seems pretty obvious to me, now that I look at it, that the box you checked
is part of the Table Style Options and just means that the table has the top
row formatted differently from the rest, not that it necessarily repeats. In
any case, I was just assuming you were using the correct control.
I agree, however, that the wording is misleading. I feel the same about
"Heading Rows Repeat" in Word 2003. Previous versions, with Table | Heading
(checked on or off), were much easier to understand. Saying "Repeat Header
Rows" or "Heading Rows Repeat" is *not* the same thing as saying "This is a
heading row," to my mind.

Thank you! That was it. Lovely that Word Help leaves the step out
regarding
the Layout tab. You are a life saver!

To tell Word that you have a header row, click the box in the Table style

it to repeat heading rows, click Repeat header rows in the Data group of
the
Table tools Layout tab.
Don't feel bad. I didn't find that last button until a full year after I
started using W2007. I had searched help online several times; no joy.
I
found it quite by accident while creating a formula.
Every menu item, with the exact wording used, should be in the help
database.
But MS (and other software publishers) refuses to to this.

I am unable to get the Header Row to repeat in Word 2007. After reading
suggestions from this website, I believe my problem is that when I check
the
box for Header Row, it is always applied to entire table. I tried
creating a
new table with 45 rows in a blank document. When I select the first row
in a
table as Header Row, the entire table becomes a header row. Any help
would
be appreciated. Thanks!
