Is Drawing Canvas Box / Figure Caption Automation Possible?
Fellow Forum Members,
I'm working on a software operation manual that contains close to 150 screen shots of a software app. Therefore, I want to automate the whole process of setting up a drawing canvas box for each of the screenshots and also the associated Figure caption. I'm having a difficult time creating a macro that invokes a drawing canvas box set to a "IN LINE WITH TEXT" text wrapping property. With left and right borders sized to the left and right margin and with a vertical height of 2 inches (I will tweak this on my own). In addition, when the drawing canvas box appears I would like the Figure caption to also appear right below the drawing canvas box as " FIGURE #" (in BOLD ARIAL, Centered). Such a macro I think would help a lot. Can anyone out there let me know if such a macro is possible? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. |

Is Drawing Canvas Box / Figure Caption Automation Possible?
You don't actually need a drawing canvas to insert a picture, and in fact it
will just get in the way. Insert the screen shot directly, with In Line With Text wrapping. (If you have Word 2002 or 2003, as I suspect, you can select In Line With Text as the default wrapping for inserted pictures on the Edit tab of Tools | Options.) Then insert the caption (you may be able to use auto captioning), which will also be inline. If you need to wrap text around the screen shot and caption (Top and Bottom wrapping, as you were describing in your other thread), select both picture and caption and insert both in a frame using the Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar. -- Suzanne S.
