Re: Rant continued from previous page (was Re: Another Word guru question)

I have somew documents that have consecutive tables. Those same
document have some tables that span pages.

All continued does is tell a user if a new table is starting or if
the table is continued.

It's not mandatory and I don't ding documents that doesn't use this
convention, it's just nice.
