Use a retrieved marker to pull "CONTINUED" into the page header.

A trick can sometimes be employed to bring it into the top of the 
page body by using table headers with hidden borders.

There is no facility to bring it in at the "top of a block" ... do 
you mean at the top of the widows of a block that has been split 
between pages?  Actually, I suppose the table trick could be employed 
on every block, though that would have other ramifications that are 
likely unpleasant and surprising.

Check the archives for the use of retrieved markers.  This is 
straightforward and I believe it has been asked quite often.

I hope this helps.  I can post more in a few hours when I've finished 
some pressing work at my desk, but by then you should have found what 
you are looking for.
