DH Templates

Huge Microsoft word problem!?

I want to create template for order and invoice sheets for my company and have no idea how to do it. Basically some orders may be one page, some more so i need continuation sheets but i want word to be able to automatically sort this for me. So far I have created a template using a table within word where i have cells at the top for order number, date, addresses etc and then it has information in the middle about the order and at the end of the page it says the costs and shipping etc. my first issue is that obviously when adding more text in the cell the whole table increases in size so flows to the next page, thus loosing the total cost column etc. I'm spending so much time fiddling about with this and its driving me crazy. please please can someone point me in the right direction?? thanks!

1. I think you would be better off using Ms Excel or get a dedicated accounts program, Word has it's limitations.
2. This answer is is for Mac versions of Word. If you are using Word for Windows you'll find something analogous there, I'm sure. 1. Click anywhere in header row of the table. 2. From the Table menu choose Format Table 3. Click the Row button in the Table Properties dialog box 4. Click the checkbox for Repeat as header row for top of each page 5. Click OK to close the dialog box.
