Default Header Row Command Unavailable

I want to set a table header row to repeat across pages in Word 2007 but the
command is greyed out and unavailable (this is after I've selected the header
row). The same thing happens if I only place the cursor in the header row
rather than selecting it.

How do I get Word to let me set the header row to repeat across pages?

Make sure the table is not wrapped. It is very easy to cause a table to be
wrapped by inadvertently nudging the table handle. On the Table tab of Table
Properties, choose "None" for "Text wrapping."

Thanks Suzanne. As I started to follow your instructions, I turned view
gridlines on and found that some text at the top of the table was actually
part of the table (it appeared as regular paragraph text). I removed this
row and was able to set the table header to repeat.

Yes, I have table gridlines displayed at all times for this sort of reason.
