Frequently Asked Questions

Will it copy rows into the document?

Word repeats the marked rows during pagination. The table data stays in a single table.

Can I repeat only the second row?

Word expects a continuous block starting with the first row. Choose two rows to repeat both.

Why might a header disappear?

A manual page break inside a table can interrupt repetition. Inspect the flagged row in desktop Word.

Does the preview show printed pages?

It shows the selected table text and header rows. Word calculates pagination using document layout and printer settings.
