Can a heading style include one font for title and another for text?
Specifically, I want the common part of my captions (e.g., "TABLE 1 ") to
appear in bold, and the variable part (e.g., "List of stuff that makes up a table.") to be italicized, but not in bold. So the final Caption should be: "TABLE 1 List of stuff that makes up a table.", with the first bolded, the second part in italics. When I create the style, it seems I can only specify one font type for the entire style/paragraph. If I can't specify this for the style, I'll have to go through each and every caption and manually alter part of the text to be italicized. Surely there's a better way, and a way to ensure that all Captions current and future adhere to the same format. Is there not? In WordPerfect, I could just embed a Bold and Italic toggle at the end of the format, so the variable text I typed each time would differ from the common text before it. Is there any way to do this in Word? Thanks, Colin |

Format an example caption the way you want it, with different
formatting for the "Table #" part. Be sure to format only "Table #" differently (not the following paragraph mark), and then select it and create an AutoText entry. Insert the AutoText entry the next time you want to create a table caption.

Clarification: Of course, AutoTexts won't take care of the formatting
in existing captions. They will merely make it easier to insert the table captions with the desired formatting in the future. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...

That worked well enough for me. Cool. I've never used the AutoText feature.
I see that AutoCorrect can hold formatting too. I didn't know that either. Thanks, Colin "Stefan Blom" wrote in message ...
