AFAICS it doesn't do it even for the first row. At least that's what
happened to me. I inserted a table, marked the first two rows as headings,
selected a table style with distinctive formatting for the heading row, and
applied it. Only the first row was formatted as a heading, so I clicked in
the second row to see if "Heading Rows Repeat" was checked. Not only was it
not checked, it wasn't available (indicating that the first row wasn't
marked as a heading row, either). When I selected the top two rows and
marked them as heading rows, then the heading row formatting was applied to
both.
I just tested this again with a new table (without marking any heading
rows). The table style *formats* the top row as a heading row but does not
enable "Heading Rows Repeat." Moreover, based on another test, applying the
table style disables "Heading Rows Repeat" when it has already been enabled.
The above applies to both Word 2003 and Word 2007 (with the distinction that
in Word 2007, the button is "Repeat Header Rows").

OK, that is good news. However, my point was that a table style cannot
apply the "Repeat as heading row..." setting *automatically* to more than
the first row.

Based on what I have read (and my experimentation), if you define
formatting for a heading row, apply the table style, and then select two
rows as heading rows, the heading row formatting will be applied to both.

1. Use the Modify Style dialog box to modify a table style in Word. The
exact steps depend on your version of Word.
2. As far as I know, this is not possible in Word. The best you can do
with table styles is set the *first* row as a heading row. There are
other methods that can be used, such as AutoText (building blocks) or
macros.
