Captions and document corruption
Do captions cause documents to corrupt? I have been tearing my hair out trying to generate a table of contents with multiple files in Word 2002 (XP platform). The TOC stops generating (says "file is repaginating" and then stops), typically on a page where I have a table with a caption. If I remove the caption and cleanse the file (by saving as html and then back to Word), it works fine. But if a put a caption back in, the problem starts again. Is there a workaround, other than manually listing every table in a 500-page document? |

Because of several issues (like yours) with Figure and table "captions" in
Word, I created my own style for each. ( Direct the TOC to build the list of figures and list of tables from the styles.) This is the Figure number: FigNum Style for Next Paragraph: 1_Para Font: (Default) Arial, 11 pt, English (U.S.), Kern at 11 pt, Centered, Line spacing: Exactly 12 pt, Space Befo 6 pt, After: 6 pt, Tabs: 0", List tab, Numbered + Level: 1 + Numbering Style: 1, 2, 3, €¦ + Start at: 1 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at... It produces a centered bolded "Figure n" followed by two spaces. (The "caption" text entered after the figure number is not bolded.) (Do not use the Word "caption"!) The style produces the default paragraph style when the [ENTER] key is pressed at the completion of the caption text. "Mark" wrote: Do captions cause documents to corrupt?
