Default Formatting Table of Figures

You don't have to use the caption feature to insert your captions. Instead,
type the text you want for the figure title and then apply the Caption style
to it. When you want to insert a table of figures, make sure you choose
"none" for the caption label while on the table of figures tab. Word will
then collect everything in the Caption style for the TOF. (Sorry, if the
dialog and tab names are wrong. I'm using W2007. I know the "process" is the
same, but names and places may have changed from W2003.)

If you are interested, the field code for the TOF would look like this: {
TOC \h \z \t "Caption,1" \c }

I have a number of photographs in a document for which I want to create a
Table of Pictures (figures). Some pictures are portrait mode and I have
typed a "caption" below the picture. Some pictures are in landscape and
rotated 90 degrees. For these I have had to create a blank space as part of
the picture itself in which I have typed in a "caption" as part of the
picture and therefore oriented (rotated) 90 degrees as part of the picture.
I understand I can mark each picture as a Caption and create the Table of
Figures from that--but I don't want the label to appear or be printed with
with the Caption (the pictures I have designated as captions) and I don't
want the text of the caption in the Table of Figures to show a number. For
example, I have tried setting each picture with a different label but the
caption always includes number "1" as part of the caption containing the new
text I have assigned to the individual picture.

I hope I have made this clear.
