If you've tried, you no doubt have discovered that the repeated headings are
phantoms on subsequent pages. Hence, you cannot edit them. So, even if you
could... you can't.

If tables spill onto mulitple pages, a workaround would be to split the
first page table from the rest of the table. Leave the first page table
headings as-is. Copy the headings to the second page table, add the (Cont)
notation, then repeat THAT version.

You'll still have some manual work to do if rows are added or removed in the
first page table. But, it should be fairly easy to work around. And, all of
the subsequent pages will be automatic, so you won't have to worry about
them.

Repeating headings in a table is a very useful tool....but.

My company, for reasons that defy logic, requires that the header for the
continued portion of a table contain the abbreviation "(CONT)" in the
header.
Editing the repeated header also edits the original one. Can I edit the
repeated ones without disturbing the first header in a series?

Thanks
