What you'll want to do is add a textbox or frame and set it to the bottom of
the page. Size as needed. If you use a frame, you can set an anchor to hold
it, if a textbox, set the wrapping so it won't move. Remove the borders.
Type your text inside with the continuation info and set the page reference
to a bookmark you'll set in the continuation location. 

This way your continuation comments won't actually be part of the article,
so the article text will flow around the textbox or frame to the next page.
And the page number will reference wherever the bookmarked location ends up.

See this article for some additional info...

As for auto updating, not really. You either have to hit Ctrl + A to select
all and hit F9 to update, which isn't hard. But you can also set Tools >
Options > Print to update fields so it will update before printing...to
ensure you don't print it with incorrect pages. 

Although the page refs will update when you reopen the doc.

Subject: [mso] Re: Newsletter Page Layout in Word 2002

Hello All,

While creating a newsletter, I want to continue some long articles onto a
second or a third page.  Is there a feature in Word 2002 that will allow me
to
insert a "Continued" comment at the bottom of one page and a "Continued
from"
comment on the second page?  I'm doing that manually now, but every time I
alter the content on the first page, the point of continuation changes,
therefore, the comments become out of place.

Similar question:  When I make a continuation from page-to-page, my
continuation comments include the sending and the receiving page numbers.
If
I add or remove an intervening page, is there any way for Word to update the
page references automatically (kind of like how it handles keeping track of
footnotes)?

Thanks for the help.

Ray Shapp
