OpenOffice is attempting to add support for OOXML. However OOXML lacks support for a feature of OpenOffice, namely : any number of rows can be selected for repeating Heading
Include this feature in WordProcessingML in order to improve interoperability.

Proposed Disposition of DIS 29500 Comment CL-0088 (Modified: 2007-12-04) The functionality described (specifying a multi-row header that repeats across pages) is provided for by the tblHeader element in Part 4, §2.4.46. However, the current text will be improved to make that clearer by modifying the description in Part 4, §2.4.46, page 421, lines 2526, as follows: This element specifies that the current table row shall be repeated at the top of each new page on which part of this table is displayed. This gives this table row the behavior of a ‘header’ row on each of these pages. This element can be applied to any number of rows at the top of the table structure in order to generate multi-row table headers.
