Is it possible to set "Repeat as header row at the top of each page" as the
default option?

I still run into problems when I forget to set this option and remember only
after extending the table to the next page, when it is too late. I am tired
of creating new tables.

Maybe there is a macro...

Thanks in advance.

You could set up a table with a repeating header row, and save that table as an
AutoText or AutoCorrect entry -- if you can remember to use that entry instead
of starting a new table, and if you don't need different numbers of columns for
different tables. Other than that, no, you can't default the header row setting.

But... It's _never_ "too late" to set the header row, and you don't have to
create a new table to do it. It doesn't matter whether the table is within one
page or extends over two or twenty pages. Just select the first row (or two or
more adjacent rows at the beginning of the table) and click Table Heading Rows
Repeat.

Thanks Jay,

I tried it and could not believe it. You are right.

I wonder why I could not do it before? Was I carrying over an old problem?

The tables I created in Word 2003 do not appear to allow repeat as header
row when loaded into Word 2007. That must account for why I thought the
problem still persisted into Word 2007.

Anyhow, it is a good improvement and my productivity has gone up a notch.

Thanks again...

You can also set heading rows to repeat by modifying the table style (the
default is Table grid). For older tables or those using another table style,
you must apply the modified styles AND be sure that, in the first group of
the Table design ribbon, the Header Row check box is checked for that table.

This last may solve the problem of Word 2003 tables not working as
expected.

Hi Sunny Anand,

Your message header refers to Excel, but you've posted in a Word forum. Are you trying to get:
1. Word table header rows to repeat in a Word document?
2. Excel worksheet page headers to repeat in an Excel worksheet?
3. Linked Excel table header rows to repeat in a Word document?
4. Something else?
