Captions changing from Figure to Table
I am working on a 200-odd page document with many Figures and Tables which
are captioned and cross-referenced. Someone else has just opened the document to make some changes and all the Tables captions have changed to Figure. This has happened before when she has worked on previous reports and I'm wondering what on earth she can be doing? -- THarris |

Captions changing from Figure to Table
I'm guessing the user is trying to change *one* caption from figure to table
and that she is *selecting* a figure caption and then inserting a table caption via the Caption dialog box. Word then replaces all figure captions with table captions. The proper way to change a single caption is to delete it and then reinsert the desired type of caption. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "THarris" wrote in message ...

Captions changing from Figure to Table
Dear Stefan,
Many thanks for this informative response. You have told us why this happens, but can you please advise how to reverse this situation (ie changing back to original figures and tables) - or does this have to be done with each individual caption. I am also working on a 300 page documents with 50 figures and 30 tables, and it would be v time consuming to do so. Many thanks.

Captions changing from Figure to Table
Recreating the correct captions would be a manual task, I'm afraid.
