Default How do I make a table repeat itself on the second page in Word?

I have an information table populated with a ton of information... When I
complete the last block on the page and then tab...the next page opens and is
a continuation of the last cell I was typing in, along with the header.
Instead, when I tab past that last cell on the page and a new page opens, I
want to be able to make the entire table reappear on thee page.

If you're saying you'd like the whole new page to become a blank table, then
you'll require VBA programming to do that. Ask in the Word Programming group.

I think that you need to think about the useability of what you are trying
to do. If tabbing in the last cell of the table adds another page to the
document, it does that because the page on which the table appears is
already full. So, if the table were to be replicated in full on the new
page, which would also then be full, where would you enter any new
information?

Now, there is just one case where that might not be the case, that being
when there is some text on the original page above the table so that the
table does not take up the full page. Even then though, do you want the
table to be repeated or do you want it all to appear on the one page. You
can achieve that by formatting all of the pagaraphs in the table so that
they are "Kept with Next". You may also need to go into the Table
Properties dialog and set it so that the rows are not allowed to break
across pages.
