Repeating Table Caption on following page
I am using Microsoft Word 2003 and lengthy tables are automatically split to
continue on subsequent pages. I selected the option of adding a header row so the first row is seen at the top of the table on all following pages. I need to add the table caption at the beginning of each page as well. How do I do this? I am unable to insert any text when the table is continuing from a previous page. Please help. |

Repeating Table Caption on following page
I don't know if there is a simpler way but in the past I have done the
following. Create the Table Caption as normal. Create Table with extra row at the start. Merge the cells for the first row; take off border on top and sides. Insert a cross reference to the Table caption; apply Caption style if you have one. Turn on "Heading Rows Repeat" option for this row and the rows for the Table Headings. Change font option for the original caption to Hidden. This should now have repeating caption on all subsequent pages the table crosses. This is for 2003 and prior, maybe different for 2007. Hope this helps. DeanH "LDuncan" wrote: I am using Microsoft Word 2003 and lengthy tables are automatically split to continue on subsequent pages.

Actually, you don't need a cross-reference; you can insert the caption in
the text (via the Caption dialog box) and then cut and paste it into the heading row. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "DeanH" wrote in message ...
