Press Enter to break the caption paragraphs at the appropriate location.
Then format the paragraph mark (¶) between the two "parts" of the caption as
hidden text, so that it will appear to be in the same paragraph. (If you are
creating the table of figure based on styles rather than on captions, you
will also have to apply a different style to the paragraph after the hidden
paragraph mark. By default, however, Word relies on the caption label when
creating tables of figures, so this extra step shouldn't be necessary.)
Update the table of figures.

To show/hide hidden text as well as other nonprinting marks, you can press
Ctrl+Shift+8 (or press the ¶ button on the Standard toolbar).

"setting vertical space between lines"

Hello
I have word 2002.

Would there be any way to make the text of the entries appearing in a
table
of figures(Insert menu-Reference-Index and tables) shorter than the
actual
text appearing along the document for each figure?

For example, let's say I have a figure under which this message can be
read:
"Figure 1: this figure represents the speed of the cat vs the speed of the
lion in the middle of the forest"

But let's say I do not want that this long message appears in the table of
figures. Nonetheless, it is appearing like that so far. Is there any way
to
change a little bit the entry in the table of figures for this message in
order to make it shorter?
For example, the message in the table of figures would just be:
"speed: cat vs lion"

The thing is that I knew how to do this with word indexes because with the
XE label I can set the text I want for the corresponding index entry. But
for
this case of tables of figures, I still do not know how to do that. ¿Is
not
there a XE entry or something like that for the tables of figures?

Thanks in advance
