I am trying to set up a paragraph style/field/whatever that, whenever
the paragraph breaks across a page, will place a "(More)" underneath
the break in the paragraph on page 1 and "(Continued)" in front of the
rest of the paragraph on page 2.

I understand how to do something similar with the foot/endnotes
continuation notice, but cannot figure out how to apply outside of the
footnotes. Also tried a field with if statements, but don't know how
to reference the pargraph status.

Any ideas?

Thanks so much,

Tizzy

This looks easy enough, provided you haven't got a complicated arrangement
of sections within the document that will screw up the works :)

In the page footer enter the following, using CTRL+F9 to set the field
boundaries, ALT+F9 to toggle the display and F9 to update.

{IF {Numpages} > 1 "{IF {Page} <> {Numpages} "(More ...)" "" }" ""}

in the page header use

{IF {Page} <> 1 "(...continued)" ""}

this might be what the OP is looking for though not what he really
asked for (a second time in here): The header/footer solution is really
applicable for cases where there happens to be content on the next page
(not whether it's one <word-slang>paragraph</word-slang> that splits
over two pages ...

I hadn't seen the earlier posts - which demonstrates the merits of
maintaining threads :(
