it appears that odf specification lacks a native way of performing such a trick. however, i invented the following procedure involving creation of two files which should be subsequently printed on the same set of paper sheets. the first file has wide top and bottom margins so that the available area be quite where you need your table to reside. this file would contain your table with "repeat header" and "allow row to break between pages and columns" properties checked. the second file would contain all other text you need in your document while the whitespace for the table is preserved by inserting an empty frame on the table's place. for the frame to appear on each page automatically, it should be anchored to a paragraph inside the page header/footer while being positioned relative to the entire page. of course you can merge both files together if you create an appropriate set of page styles.

Good Afternoon,

I have a table in the middle of a document. The table has a single row containing a paragraph that will be populated by some text. The row must be a fixed height, but when the text exceeds the height of the row I need the table to split to the next page, print the header and continue with the table and the remaining text. Is this possible? It should not reach the bottom of the page before splitting. About 15 lines of text can fit into this table/row.

Thank you
