Another Word guru question

Dori Green has already told you how to do this.  The only other way I can 
think of is to break the table, then add the "continued" line at the top of 
the next page to a formatted line.  In other words:

First Page

Table 1.  List of Names

This is a caption style.

Next Page.

Table 1.  List of Names - Continued

This is plain text formatted like the caption.  You can allow this one to 
roll from page to page.  However, that said, I think Dori's solution is more 
elegant.

Cheers!
Al
