Table captions - Continued

[Guest]

I tried to find this question, but couldn't......

I have a table (word 2000) that is 2 pages, is there a way to have "Table XX
- Continued" on the second page automatically?

I have put the caption as part of the table with heading rows repeat which
does not put continued and I also put the caption outside of the table which
I have to type in continued on the second page. Do I use a special "style" ?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks !

There's no built-in way to do this, but there is a workaround that my work
for you:

1. In your heading row, type "Table XX - Continued."

2. Create a text box or AutoShape (no line, white fill) to cover the "-
Continued" on the first page. In order to work, this "electronic whiteout"
must be anchored to a paragraph in the first nonheading row so it won't
repeat along with the headings.
