Hack 20 Repeat a Section Heading Across Pages

Instructions or examples in a document can span
multiple pages. This hack shows you how to help your readers follow
along by repeating the heading on each page.

If you've got a lengthy example,
such as a procedure or a sample
computer program, you may want the title of the example to repeat on
each page. If you were absolutely, positively sure your page breaks
wouldn't change, you could duplicate the heading
with a REF field at the top of each page.

But what if your page breaks change? Here's a way to
get your heading to repeat on multiple pages.

First, select all of the text in the section, including the heading
(you can always add or remove text later).

Next, select TableConvertText to Table and press
the OK button, as shown in Figure 3-25.

Next, select TableTable Properties and choose
"None" for the border. Now select
just the section heading and again select TableTable
Properties. Click the Row tab and check the "Repeat
as header row at the top of each page" box, as shown
in Figure 3-26.
