Repeat Header Rows for Word

Please view the tutorial below for step-by-step instructions for this task. Click the play button in the lower left-hand corner of the tutorial to begin and then to advance through each step.


If a table extends over a number of pages, it's easier to read if each page repeats the headers. Instead of retyping them, use Word's Heading Rows Repeat feature to make the headers replicate automatically.

Follow these steps:

  • Select the first row and any additional rows you want to repeat at the top of each page of your table. (The selected rows must include the first row of your table.)
  • Go to Table | Heading Rows Repeat.

Word repeats the selected rows at the top of each page created by an automatic page break. You can view the repeated headings in Print Layout view or PrintPreview.

To prevent a row from repeating, select it, and go to Table | Heading Rows Repeat to clear the check mark.
