1. How did you apply the style? In order to apply a paragraph style,
you should either select the whole paragraph (for example, by
double-clicking in the left margin when the pointer is an arrow
pointing to north-east), or just place the cursor inside the
paragraph.

"Caption + 11pt" indicates that there is direct font formatting
applied. To get rid of it, you can select the paragraph and press
Ctrl+SpaceBar. Similarly, you can get rid of direct paragraph
formatting, by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+Q.

2. If you are using AutoText, you need one AutoText for each type of
caption.

Hi whoever can help...
I have tried two things, and Word seems to change my formatting on
them both
at its whim:

1) I made my Theorems and Definitions into captions, so I could get
the
correct sequential numbering.
Actually I INSERTED the caption onto a normal line of text...
It turned the whole line into "Caption" style which I don't seem to
be able
to format in its own right (it turns it into "Caption +11 pt" or
similar).
when I try to apply the Normal Format, it wipes out all other
formatting
within the selected text - such as italic and sub-script and
super-script.
This is a REAL PAIN for some lines - there are 15 individually
italicised
letters or so!

2) I then tried, following a suggestion, to do my captions as
AutoText
entries. Which seemed ok, but now, it is not numbering
sequentially - it
just numbers them all the same, unless the lines are already of the
type
'Caption'. Also, I don't know how I can use AutoText for different
labels
and still keep sequential numbering:
Definition 7.1
Theorem 7.2
Defn 7.3
Defn 7.4
Thm 7.5

etc.

Help please???

Thanks!



The trouble is,
Any way round this?

Thanks
