I have a multipage table, no manual page breaks. The header row won't repeat
as it should. I have tried selecting "keep with next" on the header row. I
am sure no other rows are selected to repeat. Only the widow/orphan control
is selected in paragraph format.

But have you selected "Table", "Heading Row Repeats"?

Is this *never* working, or only in that document?

Try creating a new table in a new Document window. Can you get the header
row to repeat in the new table/document?

If it works in a new document, then it's probable that the table in the
other document is corrupted.

There are a variety of ways to try to fix it... but, all the ones [I know
of] that work require a bit of effort... such as converting the existing
table to text, copying the text to a new document, then converting it back
into a table. Another "laundering" technique is to copy the table into
Excel, then copy it back into Word. Both techniques require a fair amount of
cleanup and reformatting.

Thanks Herb,
Yesterday I was able to "launder" the table by copying into WordPad then
back into Word. Not necessary to reformat; it was very easy. Also, where
someone else had mentioned this copy-paste-copy technique in another post in
this forum someone responded that it is not necessary. But when tried it
works very well.

I always include the caveat because I never know when there's going to be a
formatting issue I hadn't thought about it. Being a die-hard pessimist means
there's a constant stream of pleasant surprises. :-)
