Inserting references without it coming up with a capital letter.
Hi
I posted a question on another board and got a suitable responce cencerning capital letter infront of inserted references from captions (see below). Is there any plan in Word 2007 to add this function, as I have spent the past 10 years fighting with Word in this area? Cheers WayneL Hi Does anyone have a solution for inserting references (i.e. from captions) without it coming up with a capital letter in the front? From example; if I have a chart title Figure 1, then when inserting it as a caption it need to be a capital letter. However, when inserting into text then it may not need to be a capital letter. Yes I can change it to a lower case but when I update the fields or reload the doc it turns back to a capital letter. In summery, how to I maintain the control of choosing a lower or uppercase character at the beginning of a caption reference in text but also maintain it format after field updated and also allow the caption to be in capital all the time?

Inserting references without it coming up with a capital letter.
If you want to change the case of any reproduced bookmarked text you use a
formatting switch. A cross reference field to a caption is no different. There's no need to change this behaviour for Word 2007. Thus { REF _Ref147122698 \h \*lower } might give figure 1 -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org WayneL wrote: Hi I posted a question on another board and got a suitable responce cencerning capital letter infront of inserted references from captions (see below).
