Hi there,

I've got a table that spans three pages...I haven't been able to produce the "Table (continued)" caption after the 1st page...any help is much appreciated.

\captionsetup{type=table}
\caption{\textit{Q sample}}

The longtable has it's very own \caption command so there is no need for the code above. Put the \caption inside the longtable head instead, like here:

\usepackage{longtable}

\usepackage[textfont=it]{caption}

\begin{longtable}[p]{c p{14cm}}

\caption[]{Q sample (continued)}\\
