Insert a caption. Put the cursor in the caption, then format style and
change the font attributes to 12 point normal. Check the add to template box on the way out. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jones wrote: I want to change the default captions label from 10 pt. bold to normal 12 pt. How? |

Word has a couple default settings for captions, called heading styles
(heading 1, heading 2, etc.). Open a blank document and look in the upper right hand of the screen for a little window with Normal in it. Using the drop down arrow open the menu and select a heading, such as heading 1 and click on it to apply it in your document. Open the styles menu (Format, Styles). The Styles Menu opens. Right click on your heading style and select Modify. Change the font to whatever you want, along with any other formatting. Before you close the Modify Style window put a check mark next to Add to Template. This will save your change(s) to the Normal template (normal.dot). Close the Style windows and you are set. You can use the same procedure for modifying any other template, except that you have to be sure t open a document made from that template. Since you are talking default you should make the change in your normal template (Normal.dot). "Jones" wrote in message ...
