Titling a two-page table
fHi - I have a number of tables that run across two or three pages in
landscape format. I am using header repeats also. My problem is "titling" the table. On the first page of the table I have a title such as "Table 21: Gender and Age Demographics". On the subsequent pages I need to title them "Table 21: Gender and Age Demographics (continued)". WORD does not allow me to insert a "title" on the subsequent pages. Then I thought about including the "title" as a part of the header which gets the information on each page - but doesn't allow me to add (continued). I'm beginning to think that I just need to turn of the header repeats and recreate each page of the table as a "distinct" table. I'm not looking forward to this as I have about 75 tables my disseration and about half run over more than one page. |

Titling a two-page table
The second part of your response (the clunky method) makes sense. How do I
make the table a different section (I know I'm already using section breaks to switch back and forth between portrait and landscape) to use the tool you refer to as "different first page"? Thanks "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: If you give the table a section of its own, you can use "Different first page" to put the title on the first page and the "continued" title on subsequent pages. The alternative, and it's really quite kludgy, is as follows: 1. Put the title, including "(continued)" in the first row of the table, marked as a heading row. 2. On the first page, insert a text box or AutoShape, with white fill and no line, anchored in a non-heading row, to cover "(continued)." -- Suzanne S.

Titling a two-page table
Insert Next Page breaks before and after the table. Then, on the Layout tab
of Page Setup, check the box for "Different first page" for the section with the table in it. You'll get a separate First Page Header that you can put the title in; the Continued title will go in the primary Header that will appear on subsequent pages. -- Suzanne S.
