I would modify Lene's procedure to suggest anchoring the text box to text in
the second (or first non-heading) row of the table. That way you can be sure
it will stay on the same page with the heading row.

You can do as follows:
1. In the first table row, type "(cont.)" as you want it to appear on the
following pages. Make sure that Table Heading Rows Repeat is turned on
for
that row.
2. On top of the text "(cont.)", create a text box or an AutoShape with
the
same shading as the table row (if no shading, use white fill), thereby
"hiding" the text "(cont.)". Make sure the text box/AutoShape is anchored
to
a paragraph above the table so that it will not repeat on the following
pages
(it must be anchored to a paragraph that will remain on the same page as
the
first table row).
In the "Advanced Layout" dialog box (opened via the "Advanced" button on
the
Layout tab of the Format Text Box/Format AutoShape dialog box) I would
turn
on "Move object with text" and "Lock anchor" to best possible keep track
of
the object.'

Need to find a way to have a table title listed for the first page it's
on,
then if there is a continuation page, the same title followed by
"(cont)". I
can do a title that is the same using the heading row, but I can't figure
out
how to have the (cont) show up after the title on the continuation
page(s) to
show it is a continuation.
Or if I could put something on the first page just prior to the table
that
would override the (cont) so it didn't appear on the first page. Snce
this
is a US Government requirement for documents, WORD should support it
somehow.
