Table header rows stops repeating part-way through a table

Question

I have a single table, about 11 rows, extending over about 12 pages. I've designated a header row, which appears as expected on the first 9 pages (first 8 table rows), but then does not appear on the remaining pages (remaining 3 rows).

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Answer 1

That suggests the table has been split on page 9. If there's a paragraph break after the cell on that page, delete it. It's also possible for this behaviour to occur after two tables with different alignments, widths, etc. have been merged to behave this way. Although they may look like a single table, they don't behave that way in all respects. In that case, they need to be split again and the parts re-aligned & resized so they're exactly the same - sometimes its easier just to add new rows to the part that's working properly and transfer the data.

Answer 2

If the second table originally contained a row or rows marked as header rows, you'll need to unmark them.

Answer 3

I think your second theory is correct. This table was in fact created by merging two tables. I thought i had merged them properly and they look the same to me - particularly same column widths. But maybe I did it wrong and missed something.

I think you're right that it would be easier just to add new rows and transfer the data.

Thanks very much for your help.
