Caption continuation
I have used the caption option on my tables. One table splits across two
pages. How can I get the caption to be continued on the second page of the table (e.g., Table 1-1. Example of Terms (Cont'd) without breaking the table into two parts. Was hoping Word had an automated way of doing this. |

Caption continuation
You can have one or more rows repeated on each page. If the caption is in
the top row of the table, it can be one of these rows. The "(Cont'd)" part is the sticking point. The only way I know of to do this is to include it in the caption itself, then cover it up on the first page with a text box or AutoShape (white fill, no line) anchored to a paragraph in the first nonheading row. -- Suzanne S.

Caption continuation
My captions are not part of the table. I have a header row, but can't see
how putting the caption in it would help. The whole text box option sounds just as time consuming as breaking the table into two parts. Thanks Suzanne - I'm used to using true desktop publishing software ... wish Word was a little more similar to FrameMaker or PageMaker! "Suzanne S.

Caption continuation
My point is that you can add a row to the top of the table and put your
caption in it. Breaking the table into two parts is fine as long as the break won't shift with repagination and you don't need to edit or sort the table as a whole. -- Suzanne S.
