SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Word does not repeat a table heading after a manual page break or any type of section break.



CAUSE
This functionality is by design of Microsoft Word. When you insert a "hard" page break or any kind of section break within a table, Word splits that table into two individual tables. In order for Headings in a table to work, the table must be one continuous table.



MORE INFORMATION
Word automatically repeats table headings only for tables that are split by "soft" page breaks.

To set Headings within a table, follow these steps:


 * 1) Click in the first row of the table or select the rows that you want to see on the top of the table on all pages.

NOTE: The first row of the table must be in the selection.
 * 1) On the Table menu, click Headings. A check mark appears beside Headings when your insertion point is in the row(s) designated as Headings.
