I've never really felt the need to. I usually just repeat the header rows, and if necessary the caption. But I
seem to recall some regulated documents I made years ago where the govt approver had a cow if
"continued" wasn't used, so I guess at least one of
my former readers was such a dolt. :)

Every time this sort of thing comes up I read through the messages with slack-jawed wonder... are our readers such dolts that they've never encountered a two-page table? Why on earth do we need to add "Continued..." to the top of each additional page?
