I have a table that is currently breaking across a row
(splits the row in two) across two pages. The rows are
numbered and I would like to be able to put (on the next
page) "my# continued" or something like that to let the
reader know this row has been continued from the page
before. Anyone have a suggestion?

Hi Kevin

Hmm, if you want to do this automatically (i.e. would put out the number of
the row that has been split, whichever row that happens to be) I think you
could probably approach it with a set of IF fields. You'd need to put a
bookmark at the start of each row, and a field at the end that tested
whether the page number (cross reference to) the bookmark was the same as
the current page - if it is, print the number (cross reference to) the
numbered item.

No easy way to put this at the point of the break, however.

Margaret, Thanks for trying! Sionce this is a document I
am writing and will be finished and, probably not revised
again, I am not sure it's worth the effort to solve. I was
hoping for something simple, like a menu choice or
something similar.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

P.S. Being an MVP, is there anyway you can get a
suggestion to the Microsoft Word Development team? If so,
this would be helpful. I deal with this problem a fair
amount in different documents I write.

>Kevin, I don't have the extact fix you are looking for,

but if you don't find the right answer, an alternative
might be to stop the row from splitting across the page.
Tables, properties ... table, row ... disable splitting
across pages. Diana
