Tables: how do I turn off repeating heading row?

Hi,

how do I turn off the repeating heading row feature in tables? I've looked through Table Designer and on-line Help but no joy. I know it's probably something very simple but I just can't find it.

Advice appreciated.

Cheers

    Hi C.Sarelius,

    simply by not using heading rows. There is no separate option (that is why you could not find it in the online help). If you use heading rows they are repeated on following pages (same is true for footer rows). This is exactly what the majority of users wants.

    I understand you may want separate shading/ruling for your heading rows, but there is no support to store this in a table format without using "official" heading rows.

    Also, if you already have heading rows and you are just trying to get rid of them, I think your only option is to delete them. If a heading row contains content that should be in a body row, create a new body row and copy/paste the content into it before deletion of the heading row. I think you can also just copy the whole row, put the insertion point in the body area, then paste, and it magically becomes a body row. Note that you can restore heading rows with the Add Rows and Columns feature.
