I'm looking to create essential a two-tiered heading system for a table. On
the top of every page, I want four rows to repeat. A fifth row will also be
repeated, but giving the title of the subsection. What I'm currently tring
is using the fifth row as an IF field, that changes the text in the cell
according to the section it is in, but I can't get the five rows to repeat
throughout the document. The section breaks seem to tell the "Heading Rows
Repeat" command to stop. How can I change the format of the Heading Rows
Repeat so that it continues throughout the table, regardless of section, OR,
is there a lesser section command I can use instead? Any suggestions would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If you must use Word Sections, then they will break the table - but in that
case perhaps you can place these rows in the Header instead? Use a Styleref
field for the "fifth row" reference to current subsection.

Alternatively, maybe you can find a solution that does not require section
breaks? If you need to force page breaks, try "page break before" settings
on the paragraph.

Thanks Margaret,
I ended up using the first four rows as a header, and simply created new
tables every page with the row at least function selected on the second row,
and the first row of each table being the subsection title and set to repeat
for the entire table. Maybe this could be a suggestion for future Word
releases, a heading row repeat subsection.
Thanks again,
Chris Beneteau
