Caption and text all on one line, different styles
1. I didn't apply the style - in the sense that when I tried to add "Theorem
7.1" at the start of my line, I had to use either caption or Autotext. In
the first instance I used Autotext, but then Word decided the whole line was
a CAPTION. That is a problem as my captions and normal text should be
different sizes/formats. Hence I corrected the text part by changing font
size. That is a bad solution... so I tried using Autotext instead.
2) the problem with Autotext - if I create new things for each
'Figure/Definition etc' How do I get the numbering AUTOMATIC and SEQUENTIAL?
- I can't get that to work.
Thanks

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
