Field Code for TOC "- Continued" Text
Fellow Forum Members,
I have a 600 page Word 2007 document with a 15 page Table of Contents (TOC). For the first page of the TOC my Boss wants to see this for the first page of the TOC Title: "TABLE OF CONTENTS" However, for page 2 through 14 he wants to see this: "TABLE OF CONTENTS - Continued" My question to anyone out there. Can the "- Continued" text be generated by using a FIELD CODE that will be smart enough not show "- Continued" text in the first page of a TOC title but show it for all of the other pages that follow the first page? Same thing for Table captions. Can a FIELD CODE be inserted at the end of the Table Caption for the first page of the Table, but then for the second page of the same table it automatically generates the "- Continued" text? It would be nice if such a field code was already included has part of Word 2007, but I haven't been able to find one. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Can anyone out there please let me know if what I'm trying to do is even possible? I would really like to figure out how to automate the "- Continued" text for both TOC and Table captions using FIELD CODES. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have learned it can be done using a section break and then setting up page setup with Different First page for the TOC Header in the first page. However, my goal is to accomplish this using a FIELD CODE. I'm trying to avoid relying on using Section Breaks because this tends to cause problems when I convert the manual over to a PDF. I end up with unwanted blank pages. Therefore, I would be very grateful if anyone can help me figure this out using FIELD CODES and not section breaks. Thank

Hi
I dont think this is possible. The only way you can do this is as you have found out, that is using Section Breaks with different first and second pages. Tony |

You can't use a field code because the TOC field will overwrite anything else on the page. You have to put the TOC continued in the header. Use different first page in your header setup. I had this exact same issue and I created a text box that I embedded in the header. You can't anchor anything to the page itself outside of the header/footer when you have a TOC that spans more than two pages.
In order to avoid unwanted blank pages, use "Next page" section breaks rather than "odd page" section breaks. Of course, this brings up the issue of users printing the document and getting recto/verso pages mixed up. A recto page (e.g. first page of chapter) without a blank page before will print as a verso page instead if the previous section ends as a recto page. |

michaelk: Please don't resurrect ancient threads - this one was last active over six years ago. I hardly think it's still a burning issue for the OP.
