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. "scottkinsey" wrote in message ... 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 ? |

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.

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. -- Suzanne S.
