Don't insert Page Breaks if you wan a running table that spans multiple
pages - just keep tabbing at the end of he last row on the page. In order to
maintain a Heading Row select the first row of the table then go to Table>
Heading Rows Repeat.

Generally, it is best to perform pagination in Word by using paragraph
properties to tell it where you DON'T want a page-break, rather than putting
a page break where you DO want one.

So in that table, just keep typing.  Word will split it automatically and
replicate the header for you.

For this to work elegantly, you need to disable the Table property "Allow
rows to split across pages" in most tables (there are exceptions).

You then apply the paragraph property "Keep Lines Together" and disable
"Widow/Orphan control" (so that Word cannot split within the row).  I tend
to build these properties into the styles I use within tables.

Then you select the rows that you want to move to the next page, and apply
"Keep With Next".

Word will then throw the entire block to the next page and replicate the
header for you.

Word is designed to paginate things automatically, and it does a very good
job of it I the document is correctly formatted.  My first tip is always to
do as little intervention as you can, and as far as possible, perform that
intervention with "Keep With Next".

I say this because the position of Keep With Next remains "correct",
regardless of how much text you add or subtract in subsequent editing.  If
it was right it stays right, and if it's not needed, it does nothing.

If you fill the document with page breaks, you get to move them all every
time you edit the document.  Each time you add or subtract text, start at
the front and move all the page breaks.  This gets old very quickly :-)

Hope this helps
