applyng a multiple header row across pages in default table style
1. Use the Modify Style dialog box to modify a table style in Word. The
exact steps depend on your version of Word. 2. As far as I know, this is not possible in Word. The best you can do with table styles is set the *first* row as a heading row. There are other methods that can be used, such as AutoText (building blocks) or macros. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "noa" wrote in message ...

applyng a multiple header row across pages in default table style
Based on what I have read (and my experimentation), if you define formatting
for a heading row, apply the table style, and then select two rows as heading rows, the heading row formatting will be applied to both. -- Suzanne S.

applyng a multiple header row across pages in default table style
OK, that is good news. However, my point was that a table style cannot apply
the "Repeat as heading row..." setting *automatically* to more than the first row. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

applyng a multiple header row across pages in default table style
AFAICS it doesn't do it even for the first row. At least that's what
happened to me. I inserted a table, marked the first two rows as headings, selected a table style with distinctive formatting for the heading row, and applied it. Only the first row was formatted as a heading, so I clicked in the second row to see if "Heading Rows Repeat" was checked. Not only was it not checked, it wasn't available (indicating that the first row wasn't marked as a heading row, either). When I selected the top two rows and marked them as heading rows, then the heading row formatting was applied to both. I just tested this again with a new table (without marking any heading rows). The table style *formats* the top row as a heading row but does not enable "Heading Rows Repeat." Moreover, based on another test, applying the table style disables "Heading Rows Repeat" when it has already been enabled. The above applies to both Word 2003 and Word 2007 (with the distinction that in Word 2007, the button is "Repeat Header Rows"). -- Suzanne S.

applyng a multiple header row across pages in default table style
But you can modify the table style to include the setting (for the first
row): In the Modify Style dialog box, for "Apply formatting to," choose "Header row." Then click Format, Table Properties. On the Row tab, select "Repeat as header row at the top of each page" and then click OK twice. When you create a table with the modified style, the "Repeat..." setting will be applied automatically. Note that I tested this in Word 2007; I don't know if it works properly in Word 2003 as well. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

completely. :-) But, like you, I don't (normally) choose to make use of them actively, no. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... Ah, okay.

applyng a multiple header row across pages in default table style
Well, put it this way, I use Table Normal and apply my own paragraph styles
and direct formatting. I guess if I'd take the time to define a table style for some documents (where the "style" would amount to a border under the headings and one below the last row), it would save me some time, but mostly my tables are borderless or have borders applied very selectively (for forms, total lines, etc.). -- Suzanne S.

I don't create any "fancy" tables, either, so I manage very well without
