(In reply to Miklos Vajna from comment #11)

So, in the document I attached, suppose, our user persona Eve wants to also
have the third row repeat across pages (i.e. to have rows 1-3 repeat, not just
1-2). Well, she starts by selecting the row. First, she checks the the context
menu: Nothing relevant there. Second, she checks out the table menu, because
maybe she remembers having used "Header rows repeat across pages". Well, that
menu item is checked. On the one hand, that might make sense to her, because
some repeated header rows are enabled; but on the other hand, the row she's
selected is not part of those, and she cannot use the only UI widget for this
functionality, to apply this feature to the current row. What is Even I do? She
is somewhat exasperated

What she can do at that point is either uncheck the "Header rows repeat",
select the top 3 rows, and re-check it - which works, but is a hassle and not
intuitive enough; or she might find the corresponding setting in the Table
Properties dialog - but that would be mostly a stroke of luck (and frankly I
personally didn't notice that for years).

Hence the request to allow doing this via the context menu.


... and the same request for removing the last row(s) from the set of repeating
header rows, via the context menu.

That would not be possible, since the semantics are not obvious enough. I'd
have this menu item grayed out when I'm on the second of three header rows.
(Maybe even change the label to indicate why that is; or not.)
