I'm trying to accomplish something very simple in Word 2013, but the feature does not seem to be available, nor can I work it out with field codes.

I simply want to include, on multiple pages, "continued from page n".

In terms of field codes, I have tried this:

{ = PAGE - 1 \* MERGEFORMAT }

It just tells me that PAGE is not a defined bookmark.

Is there any way that this can be done?

Edit:

Per documentation I found somewhere, I also tried this - but with no luck:

{ = { PAGE } - 1 }

This just threw Syntax Error, { back, which leads me to assume that it's incompatible with newer versions of Word.
