Indeed, I also think that a Running H/F is the best mechanism to do this. This is how I do it:
1. I create a Left and Right master page with a separate background frame for the Running Header/Footer. 2. The Running H/F looks like this: <$paratext[parttitle,chaptertitle,sectiontitle,maptitle]>, <z_continued>continued<Default ? Font> Note: I use Information Mapping (IMAP) as a content model for this template, hence the paratag <maptitle>. A "map" is a unit of information, and corresponds more or less to a "topic". A "map" starts "Top of Page". 3. I create two dedicated master pages for maps: Right_maptitle and Left_maptitle. 4. I "map" the paratag <maptitle> to the master pages Right_maptitle and Left_maptitle and use the "Apply Master Pages" mechanism. If a "map" becomes longer than one page, I will automatically get the default Left or Right page with the Running H/F. Pro: Your text flow cannot become polluted with "Continued" paragraphs. Con: You cannot use master page overrides because they will be removed when you reapply the master pages.
