Use of Captions Changes Paragraph Spacing
Hi All,
I like using captions to associate an inserted picture with a location in the text, but everytime i add a caption, my paragraph spacing changes. I like to have 6pt spacing After an enter and have set this in my normal.dot file. When i add a caption this changes to 0pt spacing. How can I make this stop? Thanks, Sammy |

Use of Captions Changes Paragraph Spacing
What styles are you using for captions?
And for what styles do you want a 6pt spacing after the paragraph? Or do you set this 6pt spacing for the normal style and you do not get it for the caption? Or is all other paragraphs reset to having 0pt after them?

Use of Captions Changes Paragraph Spacing
Thanks for responding.
What styles are you using for captions? I didn't set a style to be used for captions but the style is "caption" so i suppose this is the default. Where can i set the style that will be used by captions? And for what styles do you want a 6pt spacing after the paragraph? Or do you set this 6pt spacing for the normal style and you do not get it for the caption? I use the "normal" text style for my typical paragraphs although i generally just change the spacing on the fly when i start a document but i don't actually change the "style". Okay, my bad. And now i see where you're going with this. Somewhere, i can probably set the style to use for captions and what style to use following captions. It is acting like "Normal" is the style to use following captions and the Normal "Style" is set to 0pt spacing. I guess my question now is where or how can i address the style that is to be used for captions? Or is all other paragraphs reset to having 0pt after them? I haven't noticed and at this time it is probably just a moot question. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction.

You need to modify the Caption style. You can add 6 pts Space After to it as
well if you like, and you can choose what style you want to follow it. See http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/styl...ifyAStyle.html -- Suzanne S.

Use of Captions Changes Paragraph Spacing
Hi Suzanne,
Thanks for the pointer to shaunakelly.com. This got me close enough to find the answer i was looking for but i had to flip a couple extra buttons. The style Caption was not in the list so i had to "Show Custom" then put a checkmark at Caption. Anyway, i'm off and running again thanks to you and periodic. Sammy "Suzanne S.
