Unchecking 'Repeat as header row..." worked for me as well, in Word 2016.

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.

Any help is appreciated.

See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/tblsfldsfms/keeptableon1page.htm.

2015-12-09T18:06:00+00:00 Now that is just counter intuitive... one would assume that the option to 'allow table to break across pages' would function.... But the above option did work for me. Thanks.
