That was an excellent tip. It will really help me reduce my workload when creating reports.. Thanks a lot..
I hope you'll try solution #2 instead of solution #1.
When putting headers on my Word tables, I use solution #2. As user GDF says, with this solution when you add a column, the header will add a column too. This is because the header is really part of the table.
When you want to adjust the width of a column or columns, the header will adjust too.

The article presents two solutions when it need only have given one, the second one. The first is not a solution, it's a kludge and a poor one at that - it doesn't stand up to table resizing (e.g., adding a column), or changing the value of a header, and it's harder to do than simply turning on the repeat header flag, which is the correct answer.
Readers who read through the first (poor) solution and stop there will no doubt be disappointed in the long run.

The first method works well when doing document merges. In the template for the merge, you set up the table data, but can't very well set up the table headers. In this case, using the header solution works well. If you need other info on the page, use the footer to put in page numbers etc.
I agree with Marcia - you aren't going to resize your tables in every single case, so copying labels into the header isn't a deal-killer. good tips.
