How can one create unnumbered captions?
Word automatically appends a number when I create a caption using my
user-entered New Label. There seems to be no way to tell it not to do this. |

If you don't want to number the captions, then's there not much point in
using the Caption feature. -- Suzanne S.

The point of using the Caption feature without numbering is to be able to
create a Table of Figures that autmatically produces page numbers and links referencing each Figure. Such Figures would be titled only. Many books have titled, unnumbered Figures and tables of illustrations. "Suzanne S.

Create a style or manually apply the built-in caption style and, for
each figure, type the text which should be included in a table of figures. You can create a table of figures from that style, using the Index and Tables dialog box. -- Stefan Blom "RogerKni" wrote in message ...

As Stefan says, you can create a Table of Figures (or TOC) from any given
style. It doesn't have to be the Caption style, nor does it have to be created using the Insert | Caption feature. See http://www.ShaunaKelly.com/word/toc/CreateATOC.html. In the Table of Figures Options, you can check the box for style and select a specific style, or you can use one or more styles in a TOC. -- Suzanne S.
