Insert figures and get caption recognized
Hi,
I'm writing my MSc thesis and get to insert figures in word. I insert figures from files (ex PDF), put a caption but then when I want to create the table of figures, I get the error message "no entry". What am I suppose to do to be able to create the table of figures?? It's like if the caption was not seen by word. I'm using word:Mac, but I don't know which version exactly, I think it's the 2003 but not sure. Thanks |

Insert figures and get caption recognized
In most versions of Word, if you use Insert | Reference | Caption (or the
corresponding path for your version) with a wrapped graphic selected, the caption is inserted in a text box. But the Table of Figures (in versions before 2007) can't "see" text in text boxes. Yep, wonderful logic there. You have to get the caption out of the text box. One way is to insert it inline to begin with (in its own separate paragraph). Or you can cut the text from the text box and paste it into a text paragraph, then delete the text box. Or you can change the wrapping on the graphic so it's not wrapped, and then the caption will be inserted inline. If you really need to wrap text around the graphic and caption, a good compromise is to insert both inline, then select them both and insert a frame (there's an Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar). Text will wrap around the frame, and Word can see the text inside the frame. -- Suzanne S.
