Is there a way to get a heading to continue (and say "cont'd") to the next page if the content is to long in a topic.  I would want it like this example below.

    Open page layouts and it becomes obvious.

     

    The first page opens with Chapter Title.

     

    You edit it how you want. Click the icon to open the dialog with options.

     

     

    You can add text as I have done here. Do the same for the right hand pages.

    The Prime PDF template allows you to define the first page of the Chapters differently from the rest. Add (Cont'd) to the left and right pages. 

     

    Apologies for the mix-up over tables.

    Thank you Peter! This is really close to what I'm looking for. Do you think there is a way to get the topic heading to be "Introduction cont'd"? I'm guessing that may require some kind of scripting? I would want the left/right layout variants to take the heading from the first layout variant and add the word cont'd.

    I got a chance to look and, with apologies, it is tables only.

     

    I'll see if I can find anything in the morning but I think the answer will be negative.

    It will not apply to headings, that's why I said it's not what you want.

     

    Without checking and I'm not at a RoboHelp machine, I'm not sure. If you deselect the tables check box, are those fields disabled? If they are, it's tables only. Otherwise it could be an either or setup. 

     

    Try it. 

     

    Post back and I'll look in the morning.

    It's not quite what you want but I think this is about as close as you will get.

    That will only apply to Tables, right? It won't apply to headings?

    Is this question related to Adobe's RoboHelp product? If so, which version? We will need more context. 

     

    If not related, you are asking in the wrong forum.

    Yes, it is related to Robohelp 2022. I'm wondering if this is a capability of Robohelp.
