How can you append the literal “Continued” to a section header when the section spans to multiple pages?
My users want me to “repeat on every new page”, but only if they’ll be alerted to the fact that it’s a continuation, and not the start of a new section.
Thanks in advance.

To clarify;
On the first page that the section appears, it should only show the section header with the data value (ie. Region123). If data for that section continues onto a 2nd page, then the section header should be repeated, and also append the string “Continued” to it. (ie. Region123 - Continued).

Hi,
I guess it is not possible.May be you can try using the option "Avoid page break in table,so that there is no breaks in table.You can also go For the section header cells not to repeat on each page.just give a try.But appending the string “continued” is i guess not possible.If you find any workaround post it.

I just spent an entire day trying to figure out how to do this. After a whole day of working on this I found a very simple way to do this.
Overlapping Objects
I have a Webi document that is sectioned by Division and then sectioned by Group within each division. I have a cell in the Division section showing the value of the division. The option to REPEAT THIS ON EVERY PAGE is OFF. I then have a second cell BEHIND this cell showing the value of division with the word ‘continued’ after it. The option to REPEAT THIS ON EVERY PAGE is ON for this cell. The key to make this work is to have both cells positioned in the exact same spot on the document. I repeat, make sure the cell with the ‘continue’ word is BEHIND the other cell and in the exact same position. Finally, change the BACKGROUND COLOR of the cell in front with just the division value to the same color of the background of the document and change the WIDTH to be wide enough to cover the text in the cell behind it.
Other things to make sure of is that the cell height, font type, font size and font color are all the same for both cells.
Let me know if this works for you.

you may also be able to code this into a variable… without actually building it myself, I’ll just describe what I believe SHOULD work.
if page number is >=2, then display only the original label from page one header. else, display same label + " continued"
I may try this and let y’all know whether it works or not… now I’m just curious if I can do it!
