Repeating table header row?

This question concerns a table that spans several pages (5 pages in this case) within a larger document.

Is it possible to repeat the header row at the top of each page? I realize this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find a recent response.

My problem is that when I insert the header row where I think the page will break, the formatting keeps moving around, and I end up with the header row somewhere in the middle of a page.

Pages has an automatic way to do this using the command:

Format>Table>Repeat Header Rows on Each Page

How can I accomplish this in NWP?

I think one way would be to create separate tables for each page, but there ought to be an easier way.

Hello Frank: I'm sorry but Nisus Writer doesn't have a feature to repeat a table header row on multiple pages. You'd have to configure that manually, which indeed can be frustrating as content continues to shift pages.

One workaround — which is a kludge with a capital K — is to put the header row into the actual header of those pages. Put a section break right before and after the table, and set to different headers for that section.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already put the hraders in manually.
