I may be mis-reading the situation. But if you merely want the same 5 x 4 table to appear at the top of each page, then other content varying by page and continuing from page to page, you can place a table *inside* the header.

I made a simple text table in the body of a blank page, then copied it, went into the header, and pasted it in there with a title above it. This table repeats on each successive added page. That may not be what you meant, but it's a possibility.

We use a Word form for a photograph log in reports, where the header is a table whose borders align with the table in the body, so that the header only needs to be input once, then the body table sections get updated separately. The header contains the project info and general information, whereas the body table info pertains to the numbered photographs of conditions, and has text describing the issues captured in each photograph. It looks like one table but is two separate ones (header and body). It'll be good to jot down the individual column widths so they line up exactly (along with weights of lines.) -- Ann
