I've toyed with the idea of writing a FAQ on this one but played around with
it and realized that, while it will work for situation such as that
described by the OP, it will not work for situations where what you really
want is "Table 1--continued" (without the caption). Still, it does work
perfectly for "Table 3.2.1-1 - Table of Procedures (Continued)." The trick
is to anchor the autoshape *outside* the heading row.

The other workaround - sounds messy but actually works well - is to
include
the word 'Continued' in a repeating heading row, but cover it with a white
rectangle on the first page. Detailed instructions he

Google and seems to cover it.)

I've battled with this one, too. Without great success. The repeated
header
rows are not actually duplicated; it's a literal repetition of the
original
text. So tricks like IF fields in the header using extra text if the
current
page number is different to the page on which the table starts can't
work.
The best solution I came up with was to put a StyleRef field in the page
header to pick up the table caption.

I want to include the Table Caption on each page of a table. But, on
subsequent pages, I want to add the word "Continued". I've placed the
table
caption in the first row and marked it as a header row. So, it
repeats
like
I want, but I can't figure out how to add the word Continued on the
following
pages.
For instance, say a table begins on page x. I place the table caption
in
the
first row as Table 3.2.1-1 - Table of Procedures. When the table
flows
over
to the next page, I want the first row to be: Table 3.2.1-1 - Table
of
Procedures (Continued).
I don't want to split the table and 'fake' it because I have some long
tables and editing would require reformatting the tables.
Any suggestions ?
