As I see it, you wanted a '...continued' line to be displayed *after* the last
row of a broken table on a page. Afaik there is no way to do this in
unstructured FrameMaker other than manually inserting text, with the problems
that will give you if text flows.
What you can do, as has been mentioned here already, is to use the table
continuation variable. FrameMaker will then display the text of the variable in
the running table titles that echo the title into which you insert it, i.e. not
at the point at which the table is broken, but in the table title row(s) that
follow it. This only works if your table has one or more title rows.
To use the variable, set its text to what you want ('contd.', 'continued...',
whatever), and insert it after the appropriate text in the table title on the
first page on which the table occurs. Note the FrameMaker *only* displays the
variable on continuation titles, so it will not be displayed in the title row
where you insert it. This looks like a bug when you first use it, but is not.
If your table style does not have one or more title rows, I don't think you can
use the table continuation variable.
In theory you could put your 'continued' line in a footer on a new master page,
and then trigger that master page from a para tag in your table, but that
wouldn't be able to discriminate between tables that cross page boundaries and
those that didn't without the intervention of something like FrameScript, so
I'm stumped there. Maybe someone more ingenious than me might think of a way to
make this work.
