Clarification: Of course, AutoTexts won't take care of the formatting
in existing captions. They will merely make it easier to insert the
table captions with the desired formatting in the future.

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
