Problem
I'm trying to add the header "TABLE OF CONTENTS – CONTINTUED" to every page of the TOC following the first. I've tried:
\addtocontents{toc}{\hfill TABLE OF CONTENTS -- CONTINUED \hfill ~ \newline\newline}
Within the document right before a section that starts page 2. It succeeds in the PDF output but causes an error in the .toc. The following message is given:
Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. ...e {section}{\numberline {24}Section X}{26}
How can I avoid this? I have some customization in the working example that are necessary formatting for thesis submission.
Working Example
%Document Class
\documentclass[12pt]{article}%12 Pt font, article document class
%List of Packages
\usepackage{caption} %Flexibility in reported contents/table/figures titles
\usepackage[left=1.5in, top=1.15in, bottom=1in, right=1in, headsep=12pt]{geometry}
\usepackage{setspace}%single spacing, double spacing
\usepackage{tocloft}%Custom Table of Contents
%Formatting the Table of Contents
\renewcommand*\contentsname{\normalsize{\normalfont{TABLE OF CONTENTS}}} %centers table of contents title and puts it in normal font
\renewcommand{\cftsecfont}{\normalfont} %gets rid of bold font for section titles
\renewcommand{\cftsecpagefont}{\normalfont} %gets rid of bold font for section page numbers
\renewcommand{\cftsecaftersnum}{.} %Adds a period after section numbers in table of contents
\renewcommand{\cftsecleader}{\cftdotfill{\cftdotsep}} %adds dots between the chapters and page numbers
\cftsetindents{subsection}{1.1em}{2.3em}% Lines up subsection directly below section, may need adjustment
\cftsetindents{subsubsection}{3em}{2.3em}% Indents sub subsection to properly
\renewcommand{\cftdotsep}{.5} %Setting Dot ``density'' between Titles and Page Numbers for TOC
%\nofiles %The nofiles command uses forces LaTeX to use pre-existing TOC, LOT, and LOF documents. I can manually edit each.
