The "cont'd" is in the heading row and repeats on every page. The blocking
text box is only on the first page.

That's a cool idea but I think it doesn't do exactly what I want. I
actually
want the "cont'd" to repeat and not show up in the first heading. This
workaround seems like the "cont'd" word won't show up on the first page
(because it has a text box covering it) and it also won't show up on
subsequent pages because it's anchored to a non-heading row. Am I
understanding this right?

There is a way to do this. It's a workaround and requires some fiddling,
but
it can be done. Create your heading with "continued" appended. Then, on
the
first page of the table, draw a text box or AutoShape (no line, white
fill)
to cover the "continued" notice. Anchor this AutoShape to a paragraph in
the
first non-heading row so that it will not repeat.

I have a table that rolls across multiple pages. I would like to show a
table
title (like 3.5.3 Measurement Results) that indicates, on the
subsequent
pages, that the table is a continuation, not the first page of the
table.
I tried putting the title in a row that merged all the columns above
the
Heading row. But the table title looks the same on each page. There is
no
way
to determine that the table started on a different page.
The first idea I had was to force an appended word after the table
title
as
it rolls on subsequent pages (like "cont'd") which is what Framemaker
does.
But I would be open to any way that Word lets you indicate a
continuation
of
a table from page to page.
