John:
You can display all styles in use, including the caption style. Open
the Styles and Formatting pane and select Custom... from the Show menu.
Some styles are not checked and will not show in the pane until you
check them.

You can make, based on the Caption Style, a Caption_for_tbl and a
Caption_for_fig. This also gives you the possibility to define
different spacing before/after and "keep with next" (for the
Caption_for_tbl.) Also, you can label the caption as you see fit
(e.g., "Map" instead of "Figure"). While you work you can still
right-click and add the caption, and than simply reassign the caption
to the relevant style.

HTH, Henk

I want "Table x" above tables, and "Figure x" below other things like
maps.
When I Insert/Reference/Caption and choose, say "Table", the position
box has
"above" (figure's position box has "below"). So far, so good.

But when I click, say, Table - Word changes all my previous "Figure x"
to
"Table x".

When I click in either "Table" or "Figure" in my document, the
"Formatting
of selected text" in the "Styles and Formatting" task pane (that's a
task
pane - right?) has "Caption" - but "Caption" is not listed as an option
in
the "Pick Formatting to apply" box. I think what's happening is that
when I
insert, say, a Table Caption, I am inadvertently changing the Caption
style,
which then automatically "updates" all previous captions to make them
say
"Table" instead of "Figure".

How can I stop this? And, why doesn't Word have "Table Caption" and
"Figure
Caption" (etc.) instead of just Caption as a style? And why isn't
Caption
listed in the "Pick formatting to apply" box?

Thanks - John D
