A repeating heading row in a table really exists only on the first page; it
is an artifact on the subsequent pages (as can be judged from the fact that
it cannot be seen in Normal view). In this sense it is similar to a page
header.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was aware of how page numbering worked for
document headers and footers. I was unsuccessful in using those fields in
the
tabl; header rows (on every page of the table the header gave the current
page number at the start of the table, and did not increment across page
breaks). Looks like the experts agree this is not a native Word
capability. I
will experiment some with VBA (I know Excel but not Word objects, so this
will be "interesting").
Thanks again,

This is not really possible at all in a (repeating) table heading row.
It's
possible in the document header if (a) the table is in a separate
section,
(b) numbering is restarted at 1 in that section, and (c) the Page X of Y
syntax uses Page { PAGE } of { SECTIONPAGES } instead of Page { PAGE }
of
{ NUMPAGES }.

Our previous publishing software had a construct "page M of N" that
you
could
put in a table header row. Makes navigating a multi-page table much
easier.
Does anyone know to get Word to number the parts of a table when the
table
is
split across pages by (soft) breaks?
