Style Separator Used in a Frame (MS Word 2007)
Hello, I'm using MS Word 2007 on a PC with Windows XP.
Here is my issue: I am putting a figure and caption in a frame, but i don't want the entire caption to show up in my table of figures. For example, I have a caption like: Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator: (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram I don't want the entire caption ": (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram" to show up in my table of figures; therefore, I tried to use a style separator and I have: Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator % : (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram where "%" is intended to represent the style separator symbol The caption looks great when viewed on screen, however, when I print the document or preview it, there's a line break, i.e., my caption is now: Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator : (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram The ": (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram" is being pushed to the next line. This only happens when I use a frame, if take the caption out of the frame it looks perfectly fine, is there a way to work around this? Thank you for any help you can provide me... -- Michael |

Style Separator Used in a Frame (MS Word 2007)
I assume the frame is wide enough for the caption to run wider without
wrapping? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Michael" wrote in message ... Hello, I'm using MS Word 2007 on a PC with Windows XP.

Style Separator Used in a Frame (MS Word 2007)
Thank you Suzanne for your quick reply. Yeah, that's definitely not the
issue. The line break is occuring right at the style separator and there is still plenty of room before the width of the frame is reached. The frame width is from margin to margin. I'm working on my Master's thesis and this little situation is causing me a lot of grief. I would owe you dearly if you can assist me with a fix. Thanks again, -- Michael "Suzanne S.

Do you still have the same problem if you use a Hidden paragraph mark
instead of a style separator? (Keeping in mind, of course, that there will be a paragraph break when Hidden text is displayed.) -- Suzanne S.

[..] can you elaborate why you are using a frame in the first place? I haven't come upon a case where I would have needed a frame spanning the whole width (FWIW, of course :-)); two paragraphs in the ordinary text layer, one for the figure and one for the caption, don't do what you need?

Suzanne,
Thank you so much!!! That was the hint I was looking for. It turns out that I didn't have the "Print Hidden Text" option selected in the display settings. I'm good now...

I would think that printing Hidden text would do just the opposite of what
you want. But whatever works for you. -- Suzanne S.
