posted as a reply already, repeating row headings

[polarbear]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel I'm confused as to why I don't seem to know how to get my heading rows to repeat, but there is another thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11161329#11161329 that has a possible solution.

The instruction to repeat the heading is greyed out and I can't use it. Any help is appreciated.

I'm confused! That thread you refer to is about PDF and Safari: this forum
is about Microsoft Word. The two are not related...

"Heading Row Repeat" works only if you have one or more rows selected in a
properly-constructed Microsoft Word table: do you have that?

If so, turn your Show/Hide on so you can see the end-of-row markers, then
ensure you have at least one entire row selected.

Hope this helps

Hi,

I'm presuming that you are referring to tables that span more than a
single page, and that it is the table's headings that you wish to repeat
at the top of the table on each page.

You need to activate the Table Properties dialog. To activate this
dialog, position the selection cursor anywhere in the top row of the
table. Then click on the Table menu and choose Table Properties.

In the Table Properties dialog box click the Row button (row of buttons
near the top of the dialog box). In the Options section click the check
box Repeat as Header row at the top of each page.

Thanks for the reply :O). I must have copied the wrong URL in my multiple tabs.

I finally did get it that i had to select the whole heading row, and I was able to check the box under Table Properties-->Rows-->(repeat headings). However, once I checked the box and attempted to execute the command, repeatedly, nothing changed in my document.

Thanks ahead of time (taot?)

p.s. is "reveal formatting" the same as show/hide? i can tell that the whole row is selected because of the highlighting, which shows as black, maybe because I use 30% grey in the heading row.

p.s.s. after reading another thread, opened it in Draft view. I had unchecked the [allow to break across pages], thinking this might help me get my headings repeated. In Draft view, it is one continuous table, but the heading is repeated.

Still nothing in my "print layout" view, though.

Thanks again.

That's the information I needed...

Your heading rows are repeating just fine, but Word can't split the table!

Check each table row to ensure that you have "Allow rows to split across
pages" turned ON, and that the paragraph property "Keep with next" is turned
OFF (OFF, not greyed out) for each row.

If Word can't split a table, it bumps the entire table to the top of the
next page, so it appears that Heading Row Repeat is not working.

Cheers

Than you so much!!!! must have forgotten to check the box for receiving replies. will do this (even though it's a pretty long table). ( eyboard s also starting to omt certain letters, but that's a whole different ball o wax and 'll call my local mac store tomorrow.

Agan thans! :O)

 

[polarbear]

Thans so much!! (forgot to check the "email me" box.)

 

[John McGhie]

Glad it helped.

I always start by disabling "Allow rows to split across pages" and removing
"Keep with next" then look to see what happens.

That enables Word to split the table wherever it needs to, but not to split
rows.

Then I selectively apply "Keep with next" to rows to control where Word
splits the table, if I need to.

Cheers

allowed splt rows. only paragraph propertes could fnd were for docs n general not n Table. "keep wth next" turned off. also specfed that rows be at least .1 nches.

It looks like i may be missing the paragraph property for Tables?

 

[polarbear]

Looks like the left hand column in my heading row is not completely selected. the little mark is to the right of the first word. i'm hoping that if i move the word over, I can get the column.

Or this makes no sense. thans 4 pat ence.

 

[polarbear]

Sorry about the multiple posts. I made a new table, and the headings seem to be repeating. I haven't pasted my old table in yet (i'll do a few rows at a time), so i can't say for sure, but if all goes well....YAY! and Thanks again.

 

[John McGhie]

Your issue is that you have merged rows or columns in that table. Depending
on how you did that, it WILL disable Heading Row repeat.

The quickest solution to that is to use the Table>Convert>Convert table to
text command to convert the whole table to tabbed text, then without moving
the selection, convert it back to a table again.

That rebuilds the entire table, removing the problems.
