Caption formating
How do I change the format of a Caption so it is always the same and I don't
have to change it each time? I want the captions to be; bold label, unbold caption BoldFigure 1.2:End Bold This is the second figure My problems are that it is all bold, and that it come in 10 font and left justified. I tried creating a style for it, so I can just select the text and change it, but it make everything bold (or not bold). Any ideas? |

There's no way to do this with styles other than to use a character style
for the label. If you used autonumbering from the Bullets and Numbering dialog, you could format the number and its accompanying text as bold, and you could apply this numbering to the Caption style, and you could still cross-reference captions as "Numbered items," but you might lose some of the other "magic" qualities of captions, which are ordinarily numbered with SEQ fields. -- Suzanne S.

Formatting the paragraph mark of an inserted caption paragraph as
hidden would allow you to use a style with no bold formatting after it. Of course, the result will look correctly only if "Hidden text" is cleared on the View tab of ToolsOptions, and it will print correctly if "Hidden text" is cleared on the Print tab of ToolsOptions. -- Stefan Blom "Dustin Deck" wrote in message ...

use a macro to select each paragraph with the style "caption" and
format the correct portion of it as "bold"? jay |

If you want to use a macro, I think you should have it apply a
character style, instead. This would make it easy to change formatting in the future, if necessary. -- Stefan Blom "jay" wrote in message oups.com... use a macro to select each paragraph with the style "caption" and format the correct portion of it as "bold"? jay |
