If your table runs onto more than one page, include a heading (e.g. Table [#] Continued) at the top of the second page.

There are a few different ways to accomplish this.

Option One: Insert Rows Above

  • Click in one of the cells of your topmost row on your table’s second page and choose "Insert Rows Above."

  • Type "Table [x] Continued" into the box. Ensure your font size and style remain the same as your main text and remove any border from your text box.

  • Move the box above your table, which should push the table down.
