Default Chapter Headings

I'm building what amounts to a technical manual or
procedure.

I've organized it using outline level formatting. My TOC
is based upon this outline format. I want to
display "continuation text" in the header of the doucment,
so the reader always knows what part of the chapter
they're in.

In the body of the document, I'm trying to display (using
field codes) the outline level number and corresponding
heading for the "Heading 2" level on each page, except for
the first page that the paragraph with the Heading 2
occurs.

Example, say "A. First Topic" ends on page 2, and "B. Next
Topic" begins on page 2. The top of page 2 should read
ach page will have something like "A. First Topic
(continued)". The next page (page 3) would say "B. Next
Topic (continued)".

So far, I can only get it such that the most recent
paragraph heading on a page will display in the header.
In other words, in the header of page 2 would be "B.
Next Topic" (continued). Because the is the latest
paragraph heading to show up on the page.

How do I accomplish the former using field codes only, and
avoiding VBA? Here is a field code snipet to help you
help me: D

{STYLEREF "Heading 2" \n}.{STYLEREF "Heading 2" \*
MERGEFORMAT} (continued)
