Default table of figures

One way is to break the paragraph at the desired location, by pressing
Enter. Then format the paragraph mark (¶) as hidden. For example:

Figure 5. Figure text ¶ -- Format paragraph mark as hidden
follows here¶

The task will be easier if you display nonprinting marks; you can use
Ctrl+Shift+8 to toggle their display.

Clear the "Hidden text" option on the Print tab of Tools | Options; this
ensures that the figures will print correctly.

If the table of figures is based on styles rather than on caption
labels, you will also have to apply a different paragraph style to the
paragraph after the break (that is, to the "follows here" paragraph in
my example).

I want to create a table of figures that displays only part of the
caption
that I have created for my figures. For example I only want the first
line of
my caption to be displayed in the table of figures. Is this possible?
