Default Adding Table Name on continuation pages for a long table

Of course, this makes it impossible to perform any actions on the table as a
whole, such as sorting or calculations.

Another alternative would be to deliberately split the table after the

first
page, put the continuation notice into the top row of the "2nd" table, and
turn on the Repeat Header Rows setting for that table. It's not fully
automatic, but if the table continues onto multiple pages, it would at

least
save the trouble of having to copy the continuation notice onto each
subsequent page that the table spills onto.

If going this route, I would delay splitting the table until everything

else
is pretty much done, so you don't have the chore of rejoining/resplitting
the table each time text above the table causes the table to shift.

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.
