I think the PTOContainer Robin mentioned earlier is the best tool for 
that particular task - the DocIfs were to answer your follow-up question 
regarding conditional headers - I guess they could work well with 
CondPageBreaks.  If you wanted to use DocIfs for '...continued' headers, 
I think you'd need to insert one everywhere a page break could happen - 
though this wouldn't work unless you forced Paragraphs not to be split 
over pages.  I've never used the conditional elements though, so there 
could be subtleties I've not noticed.
