Default Table/figure caption: Bold label & table/figure number

Thanks for confirming, Suzanne.

No, you are applying "Keep with next" to the paragraphs in the row. On the
Table tab of Table Properties, you should have a setting for "Text wrapping"
that can be set to None or Around.

Understood that whole row should be selected. However, the Table
properties don't have Keep With Next switch. This is only under the
paragraph style (so far as I could find). I guess I'm applying this
to the paragraphs of each cell in the row? Does the entire table row
also have a "meta" style (to which Keep With Next is also applied)?


I also visited the web page and it mentions a Wrap option under Table
Properties. I don't have such an option (Windows 2000).

If any paragraph in a row is formatted as "Keep with next," this should
suffice, but it may help to select the entire row and apply it.

How can I bold the label and table/figure number in a caption?


Apply bold formatting, or the Strong character style, to the label.
There
is
no way to do this automatically, though, unless you create AutoText
entries
to insert the captions (instead of using the Caption dialog box).


Thanks again Stefan. (Further question below, at bottom).


P.S. I have different paragraph styles for table captions versus
figure captions. Table captions appear above their respective
tables,
so I've turned on Keep With Next.


P.P.S. I tried to avoid having separate styles for the two but
sticking each caption along with its table/figure into a 2(h)x1(w)
table. The idea was to set a table property to prevent the two
cells
from falling across two pages. Unfortunately, I haven't found such
a
table property. Is there one?


You can format an entire table row as "Keep with next"; that will keep
it
together with the following row (or with the following paragraph, if
you
apply the formatting to the last row of the table).


Would this be in the TableProperties-Row panel? I just place the
insertion point within the cell and format the paragraph style as
FigureContent (my own style) or TableCaption (my own), which are set
to Keep With Next.
