Repeat Header Rows can be applied to the row 1 or to rows 1--2 or to rows
1--3 (and so on). It doesn't work if you insert a page or section break
within the table, because this splits the table into two. However, you can
force a new page by applying "Page break before" formatting (Paragraph
dialog box) to a whole table row.
Also, Repeat Header Rows does not work if the Text Wrapping of the table is
set to "Around" (in the Table Properties dialog box).

What is the correct answer? It doesn't look like there is an answer in
this

Well, it does work, I just couldnt' figure out why it doesn't work on
this
particular document.
Basically I created a table with 2 columns, at some point I figured out
it
had to have repeating header rows. So I selected the whole table (by
mistake), right click and Table Properties and checked 'Repeat as table
header row at the top of each table". Then I selected OK. No header
row.
Then I selected the top row only, right click, Properties and selected
'Repeat as table header row', then OK but nothing happened.
This problem happened to me with Word 2003 and this is the first time
with
Word 2007; however the file is saved as .doc for backward compatibility.
Any ideas would be helpful so I don't have to 'copy and paste' the header
every time

This appears to be normal behaviour.
Specifically you say "the same table on the same page" this to me means
that
the table is not yet large enough to go onto a new page, hence the
Header Row
is not required to be repeated. Is the table crossing pages? add new
rows
temporarily to test if not.
The "Header Rows Repeat" does work but does have certain criteria.
1. The "Header Row" to be repeated must be the first row of the table
but
can also be multiple rows that MUST include the first row of the table.
2. If the table is not large enough to cross pages, nothing will be
repeated.
3. Header Rows Repeat will not work with a nested table - that is to
say
that a table within a table can have HeaderRowRepeat activated but will
not
work.
See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/TblsFldsFm...ksInTables.htm
which
cantains some possible other problems that can effect this function.
This
page is not udpated for 207 but should point to any possible problems,
see
"Heading rows don't repeat" near the bottom of the page for example.
If the table is crossing pages, can you describe further what you are
doing/seeing.
Hope this helps

Has this issue occurred to anyone else?
