Format an example caption the way you want it, with different
formatting for the "Table #" part. Be sure to format only "Table #"
differently (not the following paragraph mark), and then select it and
create an AutoText entry. Insert the AutoText entry the next time you
want to create a table caption. (For more about AutoText, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm.)

Specifically, I want the common part of my captions (e.g., "TABLE 1
") to
appear in bold, and the variable part (e.g., "List of stuff that
makes up a
table.") to be italicized, but not in bold. So the final Caption
should be:
"TABLE 1 List of stuff that makes up a table.", with the first
bolded,
the second part in italics. When I create the style, it seems I can
only
specify one font type for the entire style/paragraph.
If I can't specify this for the style, I'll have to go through each
and
every caption and manually alter part of the text to be italicized.
Surely
there's a better way, and a way to ensure that all Captions current
and
future adhere to the same format. Is there not?
In WordPerfect, I could just embed a Bold and Italic toggle at the
end of
the format, so the variable text I typed each time would differ from
the
common text before it. Is there any way to do this in Word?
Thanks,
Colin
