Default Setting defaults

Is it possible to set "Repeat as header row at the top of each page" as the
default option?

I still run into problems when I forget to set this option and remember only
after extending the table to the next page, when it is too late. I am tired
of creating new tables.

Maybe there is a macro...

Thanks in advance.


You could set up a table with a repeating header row, and save that table as an
AutoText or AutoCorrect entry -- if you can remember to use that entry instead
of starting a new table, and if you don't need different numbers of columns for
different tables. Other than that, no, you can't default the header row setting.

But... It's _never_ "too late" to set the header row, and you don't have to
create a new table to do it. It doesn't matter whether the table is within one
page or extends over two or twenty pages. Just select the first row (or two or
more adjacent rows at the beginning of the table) and click Table Heading Rows
Repeat.
