How to repeat a table on every page w/o putting it into the Header
Hi everyone,
I would like to position a specifically formatted table in the same location on every page of a word document. The goal is to be able to change the text in this same table, (filled with different headers, pull quotes, and captions) catering to each individual page. Putting it in the Header seems to only allow me to repeat the same content throughout. Using section breaks is also a less the ideal situation... Any comments or help is greatly appreciated! I am using Word 2004 (for Mac). Thanks for your time, Rob |

I am using Word 2004 (for Mac). I would place the formatted table inside a borderless textbox and anchor the textbox to an empty paragraph. I would select that empty paragraph and set it to "Page Break Before" (Format Paragraph Line and Page Breaks). I would insert a regular Normal style paragraph below that first one. Then I would select those two empty paragraphs and create an AutoText entry based on them. Whenever I would want to create a new page, I would insert the AutoText. This way, at the cursor location, a new page would be created (Because of the "Page Break Before" paragraph attribute) and the Normal style paragraph that follows would allow me to start typing away... But, this is just me... there are probably 10 other ways of doing this! |

How to repeat a table on every page w/o putting it into the He
Thanks Jean-Guy,
This may end up being the most realistic solution. Ideally however, I would want for the table to be automatically placed in the same position on new pages that are generated. Since the content in the table will change, I can't place it in in the header. Any other ideas? It's pretty integral for the template I am setting up for this to appear automatically.
