Table continues on second page
My Table continues onto a second page (and sometimes a third page). I have a
table caption on the first page and would like a different Table caption to appear on the second and subsequent pages: for example, Table 1, continued. How can I do this using Word 2007? Thank you in advance for your assistance. |

Table continues on second page
One way to do this is to insert the caption into a heading row (without
borders) and, on the first page, hide the "(continued)" part with a white graphic. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Julie" wrote in message ...

Some of my tables have a long caption and I wouldn't be able to cover up the text and insert , continued. Other suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. |

Table continues on second page
Unless your caption runs to more than one line, you could use this
technique. Insert a text box with No Line and white fill. Anchor it to a paragraph in the first table row (not in the heading row itself). Position it to cover everything but "Table 1" and type your "continued" notice in it. If the caption runs to more than one line, you'd need a second text box or shape to cover the entire rest of the caption, but since this would make for an apparently oversized heading row on subsequent pages, this is not very satisfactory. An alternate approach for very long tables is to put them in a separate section with "Different first page" enabled. Put the caption in the first row of the table or in the First Page Header, the continued caption in the Header (which will appear on subsequent pages). Unless you need the caption to be in a bordered cell that appears to be part of the table, this is workable. Putting it in a table cell or bordered paragraph can be a little trickier but can still be managed. -- Suzanne S.
