automatic "continued" in multi-page tables?
Does anyone know how to have long tables (more than one
page) automatically insert "continued" at the bottom of the table and at the beginning of the table on the next page? |

automatic "continued" in multi-page tables?
There is no automatic way to do this. There is not even a very good manual
way to do this. There is, in fact, no practical way to do the first part at all. The most practical suggestion I've heard for the latter part is as follows: 1. Add the words "continued" (along with any desired punctuation) to the title in the repeating heading row. 2. Use a text box or AutoShape (with no line and white fill) anchored *outside* the heading row as "electronic whiteout" to cover up the "continued" notice on the first page. -- Suzanne S.

automatic "continued" in multi-page tables?
Suzanne,
What a gem! I can't tell you how many useless hours I've spent in the past racking my brains for some fancy way to do this. Can't believe I never thought of whiting it out, but I guess I was too busy thinking in terms of nested fields and such. This is one of the few advantages that I saw in WordPerfect over Word - it was easy to include things like "Continued" or "Sheet X of Y" in the headers of tables. Regards, Chad DeMeyer "Suzanne S.

Not my invention. I think it was Terry Farrell who first proposed it, but
I've seen Doug Robbins quoting it recently, too, so perhaps it was his idea originally. -- Suzanne S.
