I tried playing around with your suggestion. The problem is that I need the header from the bottom table to be included with the EC #, which is near the top of the document. So I'm asking Word to make one table header by looking at two different locations in the document, which doesn't seem to be possible.

So now I'm thinking that the only way to make this work is by adding a cell that repeats the EC# again, and including that cell in my header row. Would you say that is the only solution? Do I need a macro for that?
