Repeat table cell if table spans 2 pages
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. |

Repeat table cell if table spans 2 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.)

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.

Repeat table cell if table spans 2 pages
Aha -- the table isn't expanding horizontally, it's expanding
vertically, and simply going to a new page when it fills up the first page. Word doesn't know that the 21st through 40th (say) rows are equivalents of the 1st through 20th rows -- it just knows that when it breaks to a new page, it should repeat the header row(s). So if you really want a table with (say) 20 rows and a zillion columns, you're really making a multi-page table with a zillion-divided-by-20 pages, and you'll have to repeat the content of the first 20 stub cells. But you can do this automatically by selecting the entire stub column and Pasting just once. (If the last page has fewer than 20 rows, it'll fill in that many of the cells with the first part of the pasted cells.) But note that if you have only one cell with the names of restaurants, and the _cell_ goes onto the second page, you'll nver get anything to the left of it, because you haven't started a new row.
