How to get Word to repeat a Heading?

I'm writing a Word document using MS Word for Mac version 15.22.1 (2016).

My document uses the Heading X styles.

If content below a heading spills on to another page, I would like Word to add the heading text to the next page above the content.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Here is a trick. You'll write each section in your document in a table of two rows, the first row has the text in Heading (X), and the second one contains its body text. Place the caret in the first row of a table and from the Ribbon tab Layout, grouped under Data, enable the Repeat Header Rows. Finally, set the table's borders to No Border so it will look as regular as any text.

Double click on the top of the Word, it should open up an editable region which contains the header contents as well as footer (if you scroll to bottom of the page). Whatever you put in there will be repeated to any number of pages you open.
