Table Continuation Variable issue

Wed Apr 1 13:46:35 PDT 2015

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 soft return before the last word in the title so that when it wraps, there is not just the word "continued" displayed alone on the second line - that looked funky. At least there is a bit of text preceding "Continued" with this approach.

Thanks all . . .

OMG - no way . . .. that was sooooooooooooooo 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.

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 would have gone to the next line, so the continuation variable isn't displayed. I have tried mucking around with the Right indent setting in the Paragraph Designer for the TableTitle tag, but although this solves the problem for the one nuisance table title, it artificially forces all the other table titles to wrap and become a two-line title, when one line will hold the entire tag, including the Continued variable, so these TableTitle tags look funky.

I am stymied.

Thanks!

Waaaayyyy back in 2008, someone with the intials TVB posted a solution to this problem to the same list :-)   Put a small right-indent in the pgf tag of the table title. (I just tried 0.01", and that was enough in my test document.)

The result is still an empty line under the title on the first page, but the variable wraps properly thereafter.
