Different Table Header Row on Page 1
I have a table and in row 1, page 1, are instructions for use of the table.
Row has all the columns merged so that the content spans the width of the entire table. In row 2, page 1 are the column headings. I would like only row 2 to be the table header row for all subsequent pages. The document is 5 pages in length. Shy of deleting the 1st row and putting the content into a text box (just so it "appears" like part of the table), is there a solution for this? |

Different Table Header Row on Page 1
I would use a variant of your suggestion. Split the table between the first
two rows, making the first row a separate table and the second row the actual heading row. Then format the paragraph between the two tables as Hidden or 1 pt. so that the first table appears to be part of the second. Format both the first table and the intervening paragraph as "Keep with next" so that they don't become separated from the rest of the table. Alternatively, since you have the first row content in a merged cell, you could just use an ordinary text paragraph, applying a border if necessary to match the table. -- Suzanne S.

Option 1 worked fine. I could not figure out how to format the paragraph
between the two tables as Hidden, so gave it a 0.7pt spacing and removed the bottom line from table 1 so that there remained only 1 line between the two tables. Thanx. "Suzanne S.
