[libreoffice-users] FEATURE REQUEST: CALC -- Repeating a Table Header on a New Page

Hi,

Writer has the ability so define a number of rows at the top of a table 
that will repeat if the table extends over the page.

http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Repeating_a_Table_Header_on_a_New_Page

This sort of functionality would be great in Calc. At present it is 
necessary to manually manipulate the sheet to put a header at the top of 
each page.

Even if the process is not dynamic as for writer. It would be good if a 
tool could be created that automatically moved the headers to the right 
spot (~ automatic cut and paste based on page size).

Assuming a square table a designated number of rows at the top of the 
table could be tagged as header rows by the user. These could then be 
propagated down the matrix and inserted at the top of where the current 
page break occurs. These duplicate headers are also marked as headers 
but also that they are duplicates. If the page size changes and the tool 
run again the duplicate headers are removed and the process repeated.

This sort of routine would save considerable time manipulating quite 
sizable tables that can extend over many pages.
