Hello,
the repeat header option does not work in tables in my MS Word output.
In H&M, I have "1" in the option "number of heading rows" in the table properties.
In the word output file, in table properties, the option "repeat as header row at the top of each page" is checked for the header row. but it doesn't work. If I create a new Word doc and copy-paste the table, it works.

Hi Caroline,
I just tested this extensively in a number of configurations and I can't reproduce what you are seeing here. Before we go deeper into troubleshooting please check the following:
I just tested this extensively in a number of configurations and I can't reproduce what you are seeing here. Before we go deeper into troubleshooting please check the following:
- Restart Windows. This should always be the first step on any weirdness at the moment as Windows has once again become less robust when it's been on without being restarted for more than 24 hours.
- Check that you're using the current version of Help+Manual 8 (8.1.0 Build 5536)
- What version of Windows are you running?
- What version of Word/Office?

Hi Caroline,
It works like a charm for me. Can you perhaps send an example project to reproduce your case?

Re: Repeat header not working in MS Word output
Hi Tim,
I'm using H&M 8.1.0 5536, Windows 10 version 2004, MS Word 2019 MSO (16.0.13029.20232).
I've just found out that the feature doesn't work when the table is inside a dropdown toggle section. it works fine if the table is not inside a toggle.
By the way, when publishing to Word, I get the following error message from Word:
"Word found unreadable content in ....docx. Do you want to recover the contents of this document? If you trust the source of this document, click Yes."
I click Yes and the "Show repairs" dialog opens but if I click "Go To" nothing happens. I have had this error for a long time but it didn't seem to be a problem, so I ignored it.

Hi Caroline,
However, if your output continues to be OK you can probably ignore it.
That is normal. The toggle content is enclosed in a table (you can see that directly in the editor), so you have a nested table, which cannot split. The table must not be inside another table in order to be able to split.I've just found out that the feature doesn't work when the table is inside a dropdown toggle section. it works fine if the table is not inside a toggle.
This is usually a problem with your Word template -- possibly an old one or one that contains some additional content that Word doesn't like. If you use one of the unedited ones from the \Templates\Word\ folder in the Help+Manual program directory you will probably find that it works without the error message.I have had this error for a long time but it didn't seem to be a problem, so I ignored it.
