Converting Rows to Headers

[Diane Gaskill]

There is a much faster and easier way to do what you are doing.  Use the
tablecleaner plugin from Rick Quatro.  Works like a champ, believe me.
We're converting some legacy docs from mewierd to structured FM.  I cleaned
up 100 tables in a 400 page manual, (including changing body rows to heading
rows in about 30 seconds.  Cleans up all the text problems too.  However, it
doesn't take the text string that word uses for table headings and move it
into the table title field in an FM table.  (Hey, Rick, are you listening?
:-)
Not sure of the price now, but I think I paid $60.  ROI: 30 seconds.  I
cannot imagine how long it would have taken me to do all that manually.

I have a number of multipage tables for which I need to convert the first
two table body rows (conventional) to header rows. So far the only method
I've found that works is to set up a new blank table having two header
rows and then copy the original table into the new one. It seems to me that
with its power, FM could easily convert body rows into header rows. Am I
missing something? I've checked Help and found it to be of no help in this
regard.
