Default Adding Table Name on continuation pages for a long table

There's no built-in way to do this. You can put the table caption in the top
row of the table and included it as one of the heading rows. If you insist
on it saying "(continued)," then one workaround is to insert the text in the
caption on the first page, obscured by a text box or AutoShape anchored to
text in a non-heading row.

Another alternative used by some users for multi-page tables is to put each
table in its own section and put the caption and continuation caption in the
First Page Header and Header for the section.

Hello,
When I have a long table (covering several pages) the WORD automatically
chops up the table and puts it in thefollowing pages. But it does not

allow
me to add a title on the continuation pages (for example table 1
(Continued)). How can I insert the table title to suggest that it is still
the same table as in previous page?
Thanks for your help.
