Wolfgang,
Thanks for this. It works, however, the page where the table starts has
three lines of text before the table starts. After inserting
"split=repeat", the table jumps to the next page, leaving the rest of
the page with the three lines of text completely blank. This did not
happen without the "split=repeat".
