In a mailmerge document (let's say it's a letter), if the length of the
information being merged makes the letter break to a second page, I want to
put a continuation line at the bottom of the first page "continued on next
page." But I can't use a standard footer, because it's conditional on
whether there's a second page or not.

Any ideas???

You use an IF field:

{ IF { PAGE } < { SECTIONPAGES } "continued on next page" }

Because each letter in a merge is a separate section and numbering restarts
at 1 in each section (whether you show the number on the page or not), the
page number will be less than the number of pages in the section only when
there is more than one page.
