[comp.sys.mac.apps] Long table entries in Word 4.0

robg@Apple.COM (Rob Griffiths) (06/06/91)

I am building a document that is basically one big table.  The primary
table entries are a date, a number, and then a BIG description field.
 
The descriptions can run many lines long, which (obviously) reduces the
number of table entries per page.  As a result, the table flows over
many pages.

What I'd like to do is have Word start each new page with the "header"
row (row 1) from the table.  Is there an easy way to do this?

I know I could copy the first row, and paste it into a header.  The 
drawbacks with this approach are the spacing below the header, and the
fact that if I change the row headings, I have to re-cut and re-paste
the header...

Is there an easier, more automated way to do this?  I've even resorted to
reading the manual, but it doesn't say anything about flowing tables over
pages.  

Any help appreciated;
-rob.
