Office & productivity software: Repeat as header row at the top of each page - Not working
Repeat as header row at the top of each page - Not working
by multiplex7777 - 6/19/08 8:20 PMHi,
I'm using Word 2007 tables. I'm trying to get the header row to repeat at the top of each page.
So I've SELECTED the top row, gone into Table Properties --> Row tab. The "Repeat as header row at the top of each page" checkbox is SELECTED but is greyed out.
But the header row is not repeating across pages.
Any reason why this is not working?
Thanks for the help.
Does this happen ...

in a new document with only this table?
Or is, on the contrary, an existing document, converted 5 years ago from WordPerfect and heavily edited afterwards?
Or something in between?
I suspect there's "something" with the document. Sometimes a piecemeal copy/paste to a new document helps.

I found the reason why. The table was joined to an earlier table (which had gridlines hidden). Once I disconnected the table, the header row appeared on all pages.
Thanks.
Table disconnect?

RE: Table disconnect?
by multiplex7777 - 8/13/08 6:09 PM In reply to: Table disconnect? by diman82I selected the relevant rows, Ctrl-X then Ctrl-V into a separate area on the page.
here's how to fix it, at least in Word 2007
by bheiser - 10/1/08 4:39 PM In reply to: Repeat as header row at the top of each page - Not working by multiplex7777I've repeatedly experienced this in Word 2003 and now in Word 2007, but I think I've found a repeatable solution.
The problem seems to be caused by selecting the "repeat as header row" option while selecting the whole table, or maybe even just some non-header rows. Here's how to fix it.
<P>
- Select the whole table.
- De-select the "repeat as header row" option
- Select just the header row
- Select the "repeat as header row" option
<P>
This is working for me now in Word 2007, YMMV 
Thanks

I discovered the problem was because the table was accidentally joined to another table above, so Word was confused which table header to use. Once I separated the two tables, everything was ok.

by bheiser - 10/2/08 11:19 AM In reply to: Thanks by multiplex7777OK, thanks, I'll watch for that one too
That solved the problem!
by MrBillB - 1/28/09 9:59 AM In reply to: here's how to fix it, at least in Word 2007 by bheiserI've been fighting with that problem for a while now and your solution fixed the issue.
And if all else fails...
by MathLion - 10/21/09 12:24 PM In reply to: That solved the problem! by MrBillBI tried all of the suggestions above with no luck. (I'm using Office 2007.) The document I'm working on came from a template that someone else created, so I'm not sure what's different about this table. I tried copying the entire table into a fresh document, with no other tables, and it still behaved the same way. No repeating headings. (sigh) I tried one last thing, and it worked!
1. Copied entire table to my clipboard.
2. Pasted as text into Excel spreadsheet.
3. Created new table in Word document.
4. Copied entire Excel spreadsheet (active col/rows) to clipboard.
5. Pasted as plain text into new Word document.
6. Defined top row as heading row and specified "repeat header row."
I had to redo the formatting on the table, but I got my headings to repeat on each page. Woo-hoo!!!
