Now there's a stylistic approach that sounds worth adopting. I certainly like it a lot more than "Continued..." at the top of the second page of a table. Thanks.

IIRC, Microsoft's User Ed manual design uses a different border at the bottom of a table. This simple design motif may mean you've lost some freedom of design, but it does away with any need for deciding when it is necessary to signal that a table continues on the next page. It strikes me as a form of punctuation, nothing more complicated than that.
