Default Style Separator Used in a Frame (MS Word 2007)

Suzanne,

Thank you so much!!! That was the hint I was looking for. It turns out that
I didn't have the "Print Hidden Text" option selected in the display
settings. I'm good now...

You're awesome!

Do you still have the same problem if you use a Hidden paragraph mark
instead of a style separator? (Keeping in mind, of course, that there will
be a paragraph break when Hidden text is displayed.)

Thank you Suzanne for your quick reply. Yeah, that's definitely not the
issue. The line break is occuring right at the style separator and there
is
still plenty of room before the width of the frame is reached. The frame
width is from margin to margin. I'm working on my Master's thesis and
this
little situation is causing me a lot of grief. I would owe you dearly if
you
can assist me with a fix.

Thanks again,

I assume the frame is wide enough for the caption to run wider without
wrapping?

Hello, I'm using MS Word 2007 on a PC with Windows XP.

Here is my issue:

I am putting a figure and caption in a frame, but i don't want the
entire caption to show up in my table of figures.

For example, I have a caption like:

Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator: (a) Overall; (b) Free-body
diagram

I don't want the entire caption ": (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram"
to
show up in my table of figures; therefore, I tried to use a style
separator
and I have:

Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator % : (a) Overall; (b) Free-body
diagram

where "%" is intended to represent the style separator symbol

The caption looks great when viewed on screen, however, when I print
the
document or preview it, there's a line break, i.e., my caption is now:

Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator
: (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram

The ": (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram" is being pushed to the next
line.

This only happens when I use a frame, if take the
caption out of the frame it looks perfectly fine, is there a way to
work
around this?

Thank you for any help you can provide me...
