Thank you both for your suggestion!. PamC, your method (1) worked great for
the removal of "(continued)" in the TOF. However, I found I still needed to
use a style separator in Word2007. Did I miss something?
On item (3), I verified that all the captions are of the "caption" style.
They enumerate okay in the document but not in the TOF. An oddity: if I
duplicate an errant caption so that it is on two lines then the second
caption appears in the TOF. If I then delete the first (errant) caption then
both captions don't show up in the TOF. Any other ideas?

You can use the style separator in documents that will be used again in
W2003 and take advantage of linked styles for those that will stay in W2007.
You need an addition style (say, fake caption) that has the same formatting
as the caption style for both methods.
In the W2003 method type the caption text (use caption style) and the
continued text (use fake caption style) in separate paragraphs and apply the
appropriate style to each. Put the cursor in the caption text paragraph and
press ctrl+alt+enter to insert the style separator. When the show/hide button
if off, the paragraphs will appear one line.
In the W2007 method, type the caption text and continued text in one
paragraph. If necessary, modify the caption and fake caption styles so the
style type is "linked (paragraph and character)". Then apply the appropriate
style to the caption text and the continued text.

If your lists of figures and tables are skipping captions, check to be sure
that the proper style is applied to each caption.

Hi. I have a few questions that I hope someone can assist me with. Please
excuse me if these have been asked and answered before...
1) I have some long tables than span two or three pages. I want the word
"continued" on subsequent pages but not the first page. I also don't want
the "continued" word to show up in the Table of Figures (Tables). Currently
I have the Table caption in a header row on the table so that it spans
multiple pages and I have the word "continued" on all pages. I can use a
Text box to hide the word "continued" on the first page but I can't figure
out how to hide it in the Table of Figures (Tables). Any suggestions or
other approaches to the problem?
2) Is there any way to have rows above a ToC or Table of Figures so that on
later pages it says (continued) at the top? I suppose I could do this with a
special header section but I thought there might be an easier way.
Suggestions?
3) I converted my document from a Word 2003 document and things seemed to be
working fine. Then "something" happened and now my List of Figures and List
of Tables are no longer sequential. They skip Figures and Tables. The
Tables and Figures in the document number sequentially fine. The ToC is fine
too. I've tried deleting and re-inserting captions from tables/figures that
enumerate okay but didn't solve the problem. I'd appreciate any and all help
on this one...
Thanks!
