Repeating Table Header Row in Word

 

When creating templates, you can repeat table headers if the table fills beyond a single page by using the following instructions:

  1. Click on ‘Edit Template’ in the Document Management Add-In screen.

  2. In the Word document, click in/on the table that you want the header row to repeat, then select ‘Table Layout’ at the top in the Word menu.

  3. Highlight the table row that will be considered the ‘Header’. Do not hi-light the entire table or any field codes.

  4. In the ‘Table Layout’ menu, click on ‘Repeat Header Rows’.

  5. In the same menu, select ‘Properties’.

  6. Table Properties will show and in the section ‘Text Wrapping’, change the selection from ‘Around’ to ‘None’

  7. Click ‘Ok’.

  8. Save your template changes by clicking on ‘Upload Template’.

Remember, if this is an existing template and you do not change the name of the template, then your changes will be saved over the previous version of the selected template.
