Table Heading Rows

How do I get table heading rows to repeat if a table is broken across one or more pages? I'm sure it's something simple, but I have just about driven myself insane trying to figure it out. Help, please!

    Thanks, Arnis, for watching the forum activity so closely. The same question appears in the Strux forum:

    FrameMaker (Structured) > Table: Validation error for TableTitle - "More contents required at end".

    Validating table - error message: Why do I keep getting the error message, "More contents required at end" for the TableTitle element? (FYI: I'm following Scriptorium's FM 201 tutorial < http://wiki.scriptorium.com/tiki-index.php?page=Inserting+table+elements>)

    Molly,

    You might be better off asking this question in the Structured FM
    section of the forum as this is part is for unstructured FM.

    Also, your question might easily be missed when you jump in on an
    older topic such as this. Please start a new topic and also include
    other relevant information such as your version of FrameMaker
    (including point release, e.g. 8.0p277) and the structure of the table
    elements that you're using.

    Heading rows *do* repeat. The trick is to make a real heading row. Add a
    new row at the top of the table and change "Above Selection" to "To
    Heading". And then copy your heading cells into the real heading you
    just made.
