Not really, the one does not require the other.

Of course, instead of using "continued" you could use "no longer
continued" or "done" for tables that don't continue or for the beginning
of the next table, but for some reason I find this approach confusing
and illogical. Besides, I prefer to use positive construction in
technical communication, so I'd rather tell the reader when something is
continued, rather than telling them when something is not continued.

HTH.

If you need to put "Continued" in the header row (or Table Caption) of
the second or succeeding pages of a multi page table, should you then
put "No Longer Continued, or Done" at the end of the table?
