Hi Christine,
 
There is no official "sensible place".  The rules themselves are
"sensible" (I think?) - at the end of the line.

        Thanks George and Patrick for your replies.  
        
        Yes, together these styles can be used but they do not cause the
continuation sign to be put in a sensible place - however, better than
not at all.
        
        Regards and thanks
        
        Christine
