I have a situation where I have conditional footers having different sizes which is creating problems if the document is a certain length.



On all pages I have a header that repeats with page x of y. On all pages that are not the last page, I have a footer with "Continued...". This is replaced with a table on the last page with a signature lines to be signed by various people. The following code is in the header:

{ if {page} < {numpages} "Continued...
"}{if {page} = {numpages}" <table is here> "}

The problem occurs when the document is a length that would fit on one page with "Continued..." at the bottom, but would require two pages with the table. The header says page 1 of 2, Continued... is shown at the bottom of the page but the document is only one page.

Pressing F9 causes the document to jump to 2 pages then back to 1 page in length.

Any suggestions on what I can do to automatically force the last paragraph onto the next page? I'd prefer not to enter a few blank lines after "Continued...." so it's the same height as the last page footer as this leaves a significant area between continued and the bottom of the page.
