Updating captions from Table 1 blah blah blah to Table 1. blah blah blah
The following should work: Show field codes in Word, which you can do by
pressing Alt+F9 (acts as a toggle). Press Ctrl+H to display the Replace tab
of the Find and Replace dialog box.
"Find what": ^d SEQ
"Replace with": ^&.
Click Replace All.
When you are done, hide field codes again.

Hi,
I've got a doc w/about 100 tables/figures. Style guidelines suggest
captions read Table X. blah blah blah
Is there a way (other than manual) to update my existing captions,
which lack the "." after the table number?
Also, I don't want the figure/table TOCs affected. I tried wildcards/
search/replace, but the wildcards don't seem to like the field codes
that are behind the table and figure numbers, e.g.{ SEQ Table \*
ARABIC } "
Thanks!
