How do I repeat table header rows when the table has section break
Background:
I have a document that is a long table that goes on for several pages and has to be form field protected. Unfortuantly, in one part of the document I also have to be able to use bold, italics, underline, etc; which word will not allow in form fields. I had to insert section breaks and only protect certain sections of the document in order to be able to change the font attributes in the areas that I needed. My real question: Since I have added these (continuous) section breaks the header rows of the table that I had set to repeat on each page no longer will repeat on the following pages. Does anyone have any suggestions. What I have already tried: I have already tried to cross reference these rows as a bookmark into the header of pages 2 - ..... but the information wont update when I edit the information on the first page. |

How do I repeat table header rows when the table has section break
There is no way to repeat table headings when the table is split. You'll
have to reinsert the heading rows manually. -- Suzanne S.

REF fields in the headers of protected documents don't work. You could try
using StyleRef fields instead. See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/StyleRef.htm -- Suzanne S.

How do I repeat table header rows when the table has section b
The "Useful StyleRef tricks" seems explain exactly what I want to do. I am
however, having trouble getting the StyleRef to work. I am using Word 2002. I first selected the portion of the table I wanted to have repeat from page 1; then I went to "New Style" in Styles and Formatting. I typed a name, selected character, and Default paragraph font; then hit "OK". I then go into the header of the second page and select "StyleRef" from the insert field menu; then I select the style that I created from the list; then "OK" This causes me to get the error message: Error! No text of specified style in document. If it will help I can send you the document. Thanks in advance for your help, "Suzanne S.

How do I repeat table header rows when the table has section b
I think probably you didn't apply the style. In "classic" Word (2000 and
earlier), you create a new style using Format | Style | New. Then after you click OK in the New Style, you get back to the Style dialog, and the buttons there show Apply and Cancel. When you create a new style through Styles and Formatting in Word 2002/2003, I don't think there's any obvious way to apply it; you have to do that manually from the task pane after closing the dialog. -- Suzanne S.
