Description:
I paste a long table in a Text document from a sheet. The link is a DDE.
After that the Text document is inserted in a master document.
I did modification in both Text and in the Master document to repeat heading with Table properties > Text flow > Repeat heading but it works only at one time.
Once I update the master document with File > Reload the heading disappears through all pages. Only the first line of the table keeps the heading.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy a long table from a Sheet
2.Paste it in Text as DDE
3. Insert Text in a Master document
4. Set Table properties > Text flow > Repeat heading in both Text and master document
5. In master document do File > Reload
6. All heading disappears in every pages except the first line.

Actual Results:
Just one heading line

Expected Results:
All columns in all pages must contain heading


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
All columns in all pages must contain heading

The same problem with libo 7.0.6.2 under Linux

Solved: I have to change the kind of the link of the Writer document in the Master document.
Choose dde as option : Navigator > Edit Link > Link > DDE
The drawback is the Navigator will change the name of the file to ‘Text’. Doubleclick on it doesnt open the file.
