Hi,
I have several hundred pages of information to put into tables in Microsoft Word.
I can make up a table with a heading at the top, and "boxes" for text underneath.
When I am filling up the table with a lot of stuff, it automatically runs onto page two, which is fine, then page three etc. Page two and three won't get headings, and i don't know how to get them.
The difficulty is, that i need the same headings on each of the pages.
What i have been doing is making up a one page table with headings, then copying and pasting it, so there is an identical table ( not a continuation table) on each page. Usually it requires about thirty pages in one document.
So, what happens is i type away, then when i reach the bottom of page one, i stop writing, move down into the next page and continue writing there.
This works ok, if i get the typing correct first time, but if i want to add a paragraph or two say, on page 5, then I have move, by copying and pasting the contents of every page from page 6 onwards, to get them to line up so there are still headings on every page.
This is becoming a nightmare, and simple editing of a document takes about 6 hours.
so,
any ideas as to how can i do this more easily ?
(I can't find out what version of Word I have, i think it is about two or three years old, when it comes on at the start, the W is blue, but it flashes away too quickly for me to read.)
thanks very much,
John :)
