Default Repeat table cell if table spans 2 pages

Thats not whats happening. Say you create a table that has 2 rows and 2
columns. The top 2 cells are labeled €śtype of data€ť and €śdata€ť and youve
this row to appear at the top of every page. In the bottom left cell you
place the text €śplaces to eat€ť and the bottom right cell you place the names
of restaurants. The problem is that youre listing so many restaurants that
the row expands and spans across 2 pages with the restaurants appearing on
both pages. The left cell will only appear on the first page and not the
second as a result of all the text, but Im looking for a way to have that
text appear on both pages.

Is Word spreading the table horizontally across the spread, or are you
creating two tables with same-height rows? I suspect the latter.

Word doesn't have a concept of (what the Chicago Manual calls) stub
columns; you can simply copy the cells of your first stub column
(leave out the header cell), select the cells they're to fill on the
second page, and paste them. (It might decide to put them in a new
column, just delete the empty column.)

I'm already using repeat headers for the first row of the table, but when I
have rows that span 2 pages I'd like to repeat the left hand cell, which
identifies the information for that row, on each following page. Curently the
second page has a blank left hand cell as the text that identifes the date in
that row is on the preceding page.
