(MORE) / (CONT'D)
Also: MORE · CONT'D · continued
(MORE) and (CONT'D) keep a single speech intact across a page break. When a character's dialogue runs off the bottom of a page, (MORE) sits beneath the last line and (CONT'D) rides next to the character cue when the speech resumes at the top of the next page. Most software inserts both automatically.
(MORE) appears, centred, under the final line of dialogue on a page when that character's speech continues onto the next page. It tells the reader the thought is not finished.
On the next page, the character cue repeats with a (CONT'D) extension so the reader knows it is the same speech resuming, not a new one. The same (CONT'D) is also used when a character speaks, is interrupted by action, then speaks again within the same scene.
