Default "Cont'd" in repeat table headers HELP

If you like, send me a sample of a file that doesn't work, and I'll take a
look (though it may well be an issue of printer settings).

Suzanne, It gets even more strange. I printed another set of files and it
prints exactly as it should. It's just this one set of files that doesn't
work.

That's exactly what I did, and as I said, it looks fine on screen, but
then
it prints out on the first page.

From your description, I can't imagine what you have done. The text box
is
what is covering "cont'd" and keeping it from printing on the first
page.
Are you sure you understood the directions? You put the table caption
and
"cont'd" in the heading row, then use an AutoShape (rectangle or text
box)
with no line and white fill, anchored in a non-heading row (so it
doesn't
repeat), to cover up "cont'd" on the first page only.

But I don't want "cont'd" to print on the first page of the table.
It's
not
visible on screen, and that's the way I want it to print.

If you don't have "Drawing objects" checked, then of course Word
will not
print the text box.

Did you cover it with a text box or drawing object on the first

I was thrilled when I found the posts regarding how to include
"Cont'd"
in
repeat table headers and not have "Cont'd" show up in the TOC.
I
started
to
revise all our content shells at work, but before I got too
far, I
decided
to
do some testing. My major concern was that a PDF rendition
would not
display
the table headers correctly. Again, I was thrilled when the PDF
rendition
was
identical to the Word version. However, here is something I did
not
expect.
When printing the table, the word "Cont'd" shows up on the
first
page
of
the
table. Obviously, this is something you don't want. I do not
have
Print
hidden text or drawing objects checked in my Print Options
menu.
Does
someone
have a solution?
