Default Insert changing informationinto header

I am trying to insert page specific information into headers of documents.
We prepare meeting agendas in Word tables that easily reach 15 - 20 pages.
The time block for 10:30 - 12:30, for example may have three pages of detail
We use a Word table set up like this;

Start time End Time Subjects

We of course do not want the times to repeat on every line. But it is
confusing when there are several pages in a row with no times at all on them.

I had thought I could use section breaks (they would need to be continuous,
not new page section breaks) and have a different header for each section,
name each section according to the time inserted into the table, and insert
that section name into each page's header.

Now, I could go through and manually do this. But our people are not
particularly computer literate and I was looking for some way to set it up
for them. I could get them to maybe insert section breaks after each time
slot, but to get into the intricacies of a system like would be used to
insert cross references that refer to chapter headings in a manuscript are
well beyond their capability or determination.

I think I am to used to Access where in reports I believe I could do this
somewhat easily. Is there any way to tell Word to insert whatever the last
non-empty entry in a column of a table was (up to that point in the document)
into a header for that page?
