When I add the " Continued" variable to a table title, I expect that it
should wrap the title text onto the next page because the variable makes the
title too long for one line. It won't do that. It will just make one line
of text and then cut anything off that wou
Tammy,Don't know if this will work, or not, but have you tried placing a return
(\n) between the title and the "Continued" variable?You might need two
backslashes (\\n).Example: Table 1 This and That\\n(variable)Or create a second
variable, Table Continued Long, and include the \\n there.Worth a
Long time since I had that one.
IIRC I inserted a discretionary/soft return into the first instance of
the title. When it gets to the repeated title it should break at that point.
Since writing, David provided the same idea with \n.

Hi Alan,
So, I entered by text for the TableTitle tag, pressed Shift/Enter in the
first instance of the title, and then inserted the Table Continuation tag.
It wraps the title, yes, but in the first instance, it wraps it and
therefore, although the Continuation variable doesn't display, there is a
Hi Tammy
I think David had it right with the \n. Does that make a difference?

Just had a thought - did you add the heading row after you created the
table? Sometimes added headings behave differently than headings that are
created with the table tag. You might test it with a short table, just to
see.

Personally I would go for the new variable option, if the \n, or \\n, works.
That way you can use either variable as the situation warrants.

OMG - no way . . .. that was sooo long ago in my aging mind, no
wonder I didn't remember it. OK, I also have David's solution, so I shall see
which one I prefer.
Thanks all - I need a strong Margarita right about now.

OK, my 2008 trick didn't do it this time for whatever reason with this
particular title. I had to go up to almost 0.5 to get it to wrap and then of
course, we were back to all the non-problematic titles wrapping unnaturally. I
am going with the "hard-coded" approach right now of a discretionary
Nope, heading row was created as part of a standing table format that I have in
my templates. Good thought tho'!!!

From: Tornquist,
The issue is that FrameMaker figures out how to lay out table continuations
based on the first page of the table. If the table title is only one line
without the continuation variable, then each continuation page will have only
one line's worth of table title. If that single line can contain the
Tammy,
If you want to avoid hard coding you could add a second version of the Table
Title format that deals with this issue (incorporating your .5 indentation and
having its own unique paratag name). Of course you'd have to add that format to
any generated list that compiles a list of all the t
