Word should optionally use "Continued" with tables that span page.
In my work, I create pages with tables that are long enough to span pages. I
would like to use the automatic feature in Word that repeats the specified table rows (Title, Column Headings, etc). However, due to the formats I'm required to follow, I cannot use the auto row repeats since I must use a 'Continued' after the title if the table spans a page. I also cannot use 'text boxes' to put 'Continued' after the table title, since text boxes do not seem to stay put when the document is transferred to another computer. As far as I can tell, Word does not allow an option to add a word such as 'Continued' after the title when the rows are duplicated. I'm sure that other people who use tables would also like this feature. If it already exists, I would appreciate knowing how to implement this feature.

Word should optionally use "Continued" with tables that span page.
Format the first row of the table to include the "continued" and set that
row to repeat as header. Then on the page where the table starts, place a white rectangle over the "continued'. Anchor the rectangle to a cell in the first non-repeating row. Cludgy, but it works.

Word should optionally use "Continued" with tables that span p
Thank you - After I did the search initially (and didn't find an appropriate
subject) and then submitted this, I noticed several other posts with the same question. I have been using Word since it was first released, and I think it is a very good program. However, I am surprised MS hasn't incorporated a solution for this into the program. It just seems natural that if you have a table that spans more than one page, there would be some method in the program to identify that in the table header. Maybe they'll read all these and do something about it. Who knows. You have a good day!

Word should optionally use "Continued" with tables that span page.
Set the table up in a section of it's own. When you view the header you will
get a "header footer" tool bar. One of the buttons on this bar is "page setup". Select it and the "page setup" popup will be displayed. Select the "layout" tab. You will see a check box labeled "different first page". You will also see a pull down labeled apply to. It should already be set to "This section" which means only the section your table is in. If it doesn't select it. Then check the "Different first page" check box. After you select "Different first page" your header will say "First Page Header". Your table title should be in the second header line page 2 in that section since you don't want it on the first page. Make sure the first page is not linked to the previous section. Then type in the first page table header. On the second page, add "continued". It will appear on all succeeding pages.
