Stubborn style applied to graphic
Bon Jour,
OS: Win XP Word: 2003 i'm working on a document that someone else created. It contains pictures inserted inline in its own paragraph immediately after a caption. The caption has its own style "Photo Captions". That style was set to create a "Photo Captions" style afterwards so, not surprisingly, the paragraph with the graphic was set to "Photo Captions" style. But this is a problem because the Table of Figures is based on the "Photo Captions" style. The picture shows up as part of the Table of Figures. So I highlighted the picture and its paragraph marker and selected the "Normal" style. But the graphic continued as a "Photo Captions" style. Thinking the document might be corrupted, I pulled the body of the document (minus the last paragraph marker) into a new document and the problem persisted. I then brought just one picture/paragraph into a fresh document and the problem persisted. Ideas, anyone? Thanks in advance. -- JohnTheTemp |

Try clicking ALT+F9 to toggle the display of the field codes themselves.
The number for the Picture Caption that is appearing in the Table of Figures. You should see a code like {SEC Figure} - once for the number and then once for the picture. Delete the extra picture one. Now, you should be able to ALT+F9 again to see the Photo Caption Numbers, and then update your table of figures. Let us know if you need more help. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Are you sure you don't have the photo in the same paragraph with the
caption? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "JohnTheTemp" wrote in message ...

Positive. I even created paragraph markers from normal paragraphs above and
pasted them below the caption and picture. Then I copied the picture into that new paragraph. The graphic stayed "Photo Captions". I just managed to fix them all by Painting the paragraph marker (which is Normal style) to the entire paragraph (including that same paragraph marker). It sometimes took a couple of paints, but I got them all to Normal. I'm relieved but baffled. And some of my Stylenames show an Arabic-like character at the end. -- JohnTheTemp "Suzanne S.

Firstly, I fixed all those pictures by being more persistant that the style.
See my response to Suzanne Barnhill. Regarding your post, when I look at the field code for the Table of Figures, this is what I see {TOC \h \z \t "Photo captions" \c}. This is because the captions are hardcoded ("Figure 1 - Harrington Avenue") and the "Photo Captions" style applied to them. The TOC field above only looks for that style. So I had to find a way to wipe the picture clear of that style. Why it didn't go away when I tried to apply a style to it before still mystifies me, but I don't have the time to dig deeper. Thanks for your suggestions. -- JohnTheTemp "Dawn Crosier, Word MVP" wrote: Try clicking ALT+F9 to toggle the display of the field codes themselves.
