I have a booklet with 258 tables that I could not import/place from Word reliably so I rebuilt them all ( ! ) with the plain text/tabs via:
- Convert Text To Tables command
- Added 1 header row via Table Options > Headers & Footers (1) with
- Repeat Header as Once For Frame (Skip First unchecked) and pasted the header text in
Now I find that occasionally some of the header row disappear. I have been getting the header row to re-display by hitting a hard return to the left of the table and then erasing it.
But it keeps occurring randomly and so this a bit like playing Whack A Mole. Not looking forward to saving this as a PDF for printer and finding occasional pages with the problem still occuring.
From reading the forum, similar issues seem to have been happening since as least 2017.
I can only think of two-work arounds:
1. Change the header rows to body rows and manually applying cell styles
2. Output to PDF, then find the problem page(s) on the PDF and then substituting a newly distilled PDF for that page(s)—and the missing rows could cause reflow errors onto the following pages also
Do you have a better solution? Thanks!
