Rich,

First things first. When I compile your doc using pdflatex, every page 
starts with the header row (Stream Name etc.) followed by a row for 
Broken Creek and a row for North Fork Flathead River and then the rows 
that are (maybe) supposed to be on that page. Apparently someone (cough, 
cough) turned on the header setting for the Broken Creek and North Fork 
Flathead rows. So you need to right click in their respective cells 
(text search is the fastest way to get there), click Settings..., go to 
the Multi-page table tab and clear the check mark for header status 
being on. Compile and confirm that the first row (Stream Name etc.) is 
now the only repeating header.

For your header row borders, navigate to the Stream Name cell, 
right-click and go to the Multi-page table tab, and select the check 
boxes labeled "double" for "Border above" and "Border below". (I have no 
idea what "double" means here, but when I compile with pdflatex the 
borders looks like one line each to me.)

For the bottom of the last row, get to the name cell (do you really want 
a double ' in O''Brien?), put the cursor in front of the "O", hold down 
ctrl + shift and bang on the right arrow key until the entire last row 
is highlighted. Presumably the table toolbar appeared when you entered 
the cell. Click the bottom border button.

Lastly, there's the table caption. I assume you want this repeated on 
every page (?). Create a new row in the table. Weirdly, it does not 
appear to matter where, so while you're in the O''Brien Creek cell you 
can just click the first table toolbar button and add a new last row. 
Put the cursor in the first cell and type "This table is way to effing 
long", then right click your way to the Multi-page table tab and click 
the "on" checkbox next to "Caption:".

HTH,
Paul
