I am an intermediate level user of word but seem to be getting stuck on this item with WD2013. Routinely when I create or paste in tables, WD2013 will not allow the tables to break across pages. I have done the usual table properties checks (allow break) and paragraph checks (keep with next) but no luck. I am admittedly only a few weeks old with WD2013, so I'm hoping it is just another setting I'm missing in the new format.

If in the Table Properties dialog, the table is set to have the Text wrapped around it, the header row will NOT repeat. You need to set the Text wrapping to None if you want the table to continue from one page to the next with the header row(s) repeating.
I would be interested in seeing a document in which you are experiencing this problem. Send a sample to ssbarnhill at gmail dot com.

Hey folks this problem is not resolved and the various ideas presented thus far do not fix the issue. In some cases it might work momentarily but the work-around is untrustworthy and the problem is pervasive.
What can we do to use the product when we are a professional that MUST use tables that flow across multiple pages with the first row repeated?
I have had to see about downgrading the product (WD2013) on another system so I can remain productive.
I had the same problem and tried all the fixes listed on this page. In the end the solution that worked for me (but seemed slightly counter-intuitive) was the opposite of what Doug Robbins posted.
Go to: Table Properties > Table Tab > Text wrapping then choose 'Around' instead of 'None' and seems to fix this issue for me.
Is the table heading (outside the table) formatted as "Keep with next"? Make sure that the header row of the table is also formatted as KWN. If the table will all fit on the same page as the heading, you can also format the rows as KWN--all except the last, which should not be formatted this way.
