The easy trap to fall into is the "Floating Table" trap. Go to
Table>Properties and check that Text Wrapping is set to "None". If it
isn't, the table is floating ion the graphics layer of the document, it's
not part of the text page, and header replication does not operate.
Other things:
Make sure you do not have one row that extends across to the next page!
You can do this inadvertently if you have one column that straddles all the
rows.
If you set the table property "Allow row to split across pages" and end up
with one row that will not fit on a single page, Word can't split the table
and it thus won't replicate the header row.
The other trick is that sometimes the "Header" is in fact not part of the
same table. To find out, hover the mouse over the top of the first column
of the header and move until the pointer turns to a black arrow.
Click once to select the column and look where the selection goes. If the
selection does not include the rest of the table column, you do not have a
"Table with a header row" you have "Two tables, with one looking like the
header of the second". This often happens if you have been cutting and
pasting off web pages.
The cure is to delete the header row, then create a new row by selecting the
top row of the new table and choosing Table>Insert>Rows above...
That will be part of the same table, and it will replicate.
