Hmm-
What if you have several heading styles for each level, use a different
one (different style name, same outline level) for each story. Then you
can use a styleref at the top of the 'continued' column for the
particular heading style used for that story?
To allow for flow, the 'continued' link could be in a box just above
the column where the article would flow?
You could have the 'real' style definition in Word's 'Heading 1',
'Heading 2', etc. and just base the other heading styles on those,
straight inheritance.

comments?
