Figure overrides spacing above and below
Hi all,
I'm working on a research paper in Word 2007. I have a requirement that figures be placed with a blank line between them and their captions below. I've tried implementing this by putting each figure in a Figure style, with 11-pt spacing above and below. The figures are placed inline with the text, as characters. What I'm seeing though is for some of my figures, the actual graphic is overrunning the space Word is giving it. It's eating up all the space below, running up against the caption, and if I take out the spacing altogether, it is cutting off the bottom part of the image. If I click it to view the graphics handles, the image is being cut off by the caption text, but the graphics handles are extending below the caption. Does anyone have any idea here? Thanks. |

Presumably the Figure style has Single (not Exact) line spacing?

Yes, Single line spacing.

Hi Joel,
So you're saying that each figure is in its own paragraph and you're using a paragraph style? Have you looked at modifying the Caption style to have the space before? Are these graphics added through Insert=Picture? Is the paragraph style for Figure set up to use the Caption paragraph style for the following paragraph? ============= "joeljkp" wrote in message ... Yes, Single line spacing. - Joel -- Bob Buckland ?:-) MS Office System Products MVP *Courtesy is not expensive and can pay big dividends* |

Cld it be you have yr caption as part of the Figure style? Set yr Figure Style as Keep with next, so the caption is always connected to the figure, ie never on a separate page. Define the Figure style with the appropriate Space Before and Space After settings. Further, make sure to tick "add to template" after applying the settings, otherwise Word will not remember it the next time you open the document. HTH - Henk -- Henk57 |
