How to set a table row to repeated as header?

I am trying to enable "Repeat Header Rows" for a table row

Hi, sorry for the delay. This is a snippet you could use:

def set_repeat_table_header(row):
    """ set repeat table row on every new page
    """
    tr = row._tr
    trPr = tr.get_or_add_trPr()
    tblHeader = OxmlElement('w:tblHeader')
    tblHeader.set(qn('w:val'), "true")
    trPr.append(tblHeader)
    return row```

Thank you. This works just fine. I appreciate it.

Hi, could you provide a small example of how you would implement that function? When and where would you call it when you create the table?

Thanks!

@pierreluc-plt If you have a table, you can call set_repeat_table_header(table.rows[0]) for the setup.

Just cross-posting the required import statements for this from here:

import docx
from docx.oxml import OxmlElement
from docx.oxml.ns import qn

Hi,
could you clarify one thing. Would you use this function after a Table created? Or after it is filled out?
Would really appreciate an example cuz so far it didnt work out. Thanks in advance!

A simple example that creates a document with just a table and its header repeated in both pages:

from docx import Document
from docx.oxml.shared import OxmlElement,qn
 
def set_repeat_table_header(row):
    """ set repeat table row on every new page
    """
    tr = row._tr
    trPr = tr.get_or_add_trPr()
    tblHeader = OxmlElement('w:tblHeader')
    tblHeader.set(qn('w:val'), "true")
    trPr.append(tblHeader)
    return row
 
document = Document()
 
table = document.add_table(70,2)
table.autofit=False
table.style = 'Table Grid'
 
cell_00 = table.cell(0, 0)
cell_00.text = 'title 1'
 
cell_01 = table.cell(0, 1)
cell_01.text = 'title 2'
 
set_repeat_table_header(table.rows[0])
 
document.save('table.docx')

Hi All!
How to set 2 or more rows in table to be as header on every new page?
Thank you!

Hi All! How to set 2 or more rows in table to be as header on every new page? Thank you!

did it as While loop

i=0
while i<=1:
    set_repeat_table_header(table.rows[i])
    i=i+1

Isn't that just the same as:

set_repeat_table_header(table.rows[0])
set_repeat_table_header(table.rows[1])

?

Yeah!
I came to that afer posting about loop

In any case, in python we write i+=1, not i=i+1.

Oh!
Thanks! Always forget about that)
I'm new to python, its like hobby for me.

I set double line bottom on header row, but on the next page a single line header bottom remains...

Thank you. This works

Hi, I am having trouble with the code above and it isn't working for me. My table is inside another table to adhere to a template to give it a name and caption. Would this be the cause of the problem?
Thanks
