Defining the header row

Setting the first row of your table as the header row has its advantages when the table is large and will span across multiple pages. Defining the header row (the first row of the table containing your headings defining the contents of the column) makes sure that the headings in the first row of the table will repeat themselves at the top of the next page, and so forth.

1. Select the first row of the table.
2. Click on the Table Tools tab.
3. Click on the Layout tab.

4. Choose Repeat Header Rows, as illustrated in the following screenshot:

5. The header row has been set to repeat automatically at the top of each page.
   Any formatting change made to the first row (header row) will automatically update to each of the header rows at the top of each page.
