Thanks, Stefan.
Would you have a simpler way to do it? I am struggling to follow the TC
field stuff as I haven't learnt how to use it.
In different captions of my figures (or tables), there will be different
sections of words I want to omit in the Table of Figures (in my case, I call
it List of Tables in my report). So, I feel it's different from Author,
Title, and Subtitles.
Can I still use styles to build the Table of Figures in this case?
I am gratful for your help.

But how can I hide middle part of the caption in the Table of Figures. For
example:
Figure 1.2: Distance-Time Plot [Jan 17] and More.
I want show:
Figure 1.2: Distance-Time Plot and More.
In the above, [Jan 17] is removed.
Can I do this? Please help.
Many thanks.

Hi there,
I'm wondering how to only display certain parts of a caption's text in
the
Table of Figures.
For example, in the text the caption might read:
"Figure 1.2: Distance-Time Plot [Jan 17]"
However, in the Table of Figures I do not want the part in the square
brackets to appear (Jan 17)
I want the Table of Figures to look like:
"Figure 1.2: Distance-Time Plot................15"
Is there a good way to do this? One possibility is to just delete the
[Jan
17] off the Table of Figures once I know that I'm not going to update
it
anymore, but this doesn't seem like the most elegant solution.
Thanks very much,
Andrew
