How can I bold the label and table/figure number in a caption?


Apply bold formatting, or the Strong character style, to the label. There is
no way to do this automatically, though, unless you create AutoText entries
to insert the captions (instead of using the Caption dialog box).

P.S. I have different paragraph styles for table captions versus
figure captions. Table captions appear above their respective tables,
so I've turned on Keep With Next.

P.P.S. I tried to avoid having separate styles for the two but
sticking each caption along with its table/figure into a 2(h)x1(w)
table. The idea was to set a table property to prevent the two cells
from falling across two pages. Unfortunately, I haven't found such a
table property. Is there one?

You can format an entire table row as "Keep with next"; that will keep it
together with the following row (or with the following paragraph, if you
apply the formatting to the last row of the table).
