Lost Color in Table of figures
I use Word 2000 on Windows XP.
I recently lost color in my entries in the Table of Figures. It's complicated but I'll try to be brief in explaining it. I have figures with captions under the the style of Figure Caption (which is the style I use to generate the table of figures). The default color of the style is black (automataic), but often I add one or two word notes to myself in the caption and then color the notes blue or red. Until now, when I either updated the table of figures or inserted a new table of figures to replace the old, my added color text come along. That way I can quickly scan my figures list and see my colored comments. Recently this all stopped. When I opened the latest version of my file the table of figures' entries were ALL black - even my added comments, even though the original colored text in the figure captions themselves were still in color. I tied updating the table - no luck. I tried inserting a new table of figures - no luck. I went back and opened an earlier version of the file. The colored text was in the table of figures. When I right clicked to update the table the colors remained. However, when I inserted a new table of figures based on the current template, all of the entries turned black - even though the original colors in captions on the figures remained intact. I deleted normal.dot and tried again - no luck. I simply cannot figure out what is happening. Please help!! |

Lost Color in Table of figures
This is strange. Usually, any direct font formatting is reflected in
the table of contents/table of figures. If you use highlighting instead, does that make a difference? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "rhorton33704" wrote in message ...
