How to Add "Continued on Page" References in InDesign Text Frames

A very old Script basically written for a client 7 years ago. it would surely need to be updated for the op use [not for free]. It works fine on ID 2025 [not tested with ID 2026]. No cross-ref. used.

Just place the cursor inside the target-story …

… and 1 click!

(^/)  The Jedi

“Continued on page X”
Use a cross-reference that targets a paragraph style at the start of the continued text. Format the cross-reference to display the page number. It updates automatically if pagination changes.

“Continued from page Y”
At the top of the next frame, insert a cross-reference pointing back to the previous section’s heading (again using paragraph styles). Avoid typing page numbers manually.

For high-volume editorial workflows (like newspapers), a small script is the most scalable solution. For books or structured layouts, styled cross-references are stable and production-safe.

The key is to rely on dynamic references — not static text — so reflow doesn’t break your layout.
