Umm, good point. I'm a bear of very fuzzy brain lately (now on Day 9 of the
crud). -- Suzanne S.

"Jay Freedman" wrote in message ... Ah, yes, I did misunderstand. I had in mind that the short caption would be sufficiently different from the long caption that you would want to see only one or the other: Figure 1 When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you sometimes find that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it. { TC Figure 1 A Bear of Very Little Brain } -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S. Barnhill wrote: I think you misunderstand what we are suggesting, which is: Figure 1. Short caption to be included. SS or HPB Rest of caption in a different style (not Caption). "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ... As near as I can tell, the TOC field for the Table of Figures (using the \c "Figure" switch) picks up any paragraph that contains a SEQ field using the "Figure" identifier. It doesn't even have to be in Caption style. BUT... The point of this was to have only the long caption visible in the document, and to have only the short caption appear in the TOF. Having a hidden paragraph mark or a style separator doesn't do any good unless the short caption that follows it is hidden. I know I was able to get this to work by using the TC field before I posted my first answer, but now I can't repeat it. :-( If the SEQ field is hidden, either by putting it in a TC field by by directly applying Hidden formatting to the short caption, the TOC field doesn't see it at all. Sorry -- forget I was even here... -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Franz" wrote in message ... Hi Jay Jay Freedman wrote: [..] - Select the figure number from the beginning of the long caption (this is actually a SEQ field) and drag it into the TC field after the word "Figure". Then, in the long caption where the number used to be, type the figure number as plain text. [..] This is where the PITA comes in: If you insert or remove figures, the plain-text numbers in the long captions won't change to reflect that. You'll have to go through all the captions, making manual changes to the long caption numbers. Maybe someone else will contribute a way that keeps the long caption numbers in sync without also stuffing them into the TOC. Two ideas (never really implemented myself): - Bookmark the SEQ in the TC-field and cross-reference it in the caption itself (or better: leave the SEQ-field in front and reproduce the same SEQ-number in the TC-field, IIRC there's a switch for that). - Use a style separator/hidden para mark. 2cents Robert -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |
