Continued tables and use of captions?
Hello,
I have a table that is several pages long. I've used the caption feature to give the table a name. What I'd like to do is have the caption automatically appear on each page For example: Table 1 (continued) Does anyone know if there is a way to do this? Thanks in advance. Cindy W. |

Continued tables and use of captions?
If you put the caption in the top row of the table and make it a heading
row, you can repeat it. Adding the "(continued)" part is a bit trickier. The only way I know of to do this is to put "(continued)" in the caption itself and hide it on the first page with a text box or AutoShape (no line and white fill) anchored either outside the table or at least in a non-heading row. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks. I'll try this. One question, are you allowed to
have more than one header row? This won't work if it knocks out my other headers that need to be repeated. Thanks again. -----Original Message----- If you put the caption in the top row of the table and make it a heading row, you can repeat it. Adding the "(continued)" part is a bit trickier.

I believe Suzanne Barnhill came up with the workaround for this.

Don't give me credit for this, Charles. I've just been passing it on. I
think it was Terry Farrell that first proposed it. I've never actually tried it, but other users seem to have used the technique successfully. -- Suzanne S.

You can have as many heading rows as you want (within reason, of course),
but they must be at the top of the table and must be contiguous. -- Suzanne S.
