Relat Matrix and repeating header on next page

[Szymon]

Hi,

I have relationship matrix long enough to be split between two word pages. The point is that I would like to see header of the table (matrix) repeated on the second page. This is feature offered by MS Word but:
– from MS Word it doesn’t work for relationship matrix
– I can’t find this setting in eaDocX

Would you please advice?

Thank You,
Szymon

eaDocX adds data to Word via its HTML interface, and ‘Heading rows repeat’ isn’t an HTML option, but tables usually get this by default.
I’m using Word 2013 at the moment, and the option to repeat rows seems to work OK for the matrix table in my current document, but like you, I seem to have to set it manually.
I wonder if Word doesn’t recognize the top row as a ‘header’? I’ll have a look at the generator.

The issue is closed 🙂
I have double check and it seems that “normal” tables as well as relationship matrix generated by eaDocX are able to repeat header on the next pages based on aforementioned settings in Word.

However, there is no option to create such tables from eaDocX to remember such settings so this needs to be configured manually for every tables directly from Word. Hmm…this is not efficient but I will double check if there is option in Word to get this feature for all tables by default.

Thanks,
Szymon

I’m not sure if this helps but..

I have a table style set up in Word that repeats headers and applies some standard formatting. I don’t use it eaDocX (for some reason that fades in my distant memory) but I do use a specific style for the table header text and a separate style for the table content.

After generation, I select all instances of my table header style and apply my custom table style in one efficient update.

I haven’t yet tried this for matrices – in the earlier versions of Word the custom table style couldn’t differentiate the first column with a different colour, put perhaps the later versions are more flexible?

Best regards,
Heather
