Inserting Equation Captions in MS word 2003
How can I insert equation captions in MS Word 2003. The problem is that
insert -- caption allows me only to insert a caption above or below the object ( not to the righr or to the left ). Someone in this forum suggested using a 1x2 table; I tried it but still the caption is inserted only above or below. Thanks in Advance |

Inserting Equation Captions in MS word 2003
You have to insert the caption above or below, then drag or copy/paste it
into the table. Once you've got a sample equation and caption set up and the table adjusted to your satisfaction, save the whole thing as an AutoText entry and insert it when needed; then update the equation and caption. -- Suzanne S.

Inserting Equation Captions in MS word 2003
Hi elbadry
Try this. Insert your equation. In the paragraph below that, use Insert Reference Caption to insert your caption. Select both paragraphs and choose Table Convert Text to Table. Tell Word to create a 2-column, 1-row table. Use Format Borders and Shading to get rid of the borders. Drag the column widths to suit your needs, and format the text appropriately (eg, align the caption to the right). When it's all set up just as you would like all your equations to be, select the whole table and use Insert AutoText AutoText to turn it into an AutoText. You can then invoke the AutoText when you need a new equation and it will insert the table and the caption ready for you to do the equation. For more information see Using AutoText http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...n/AutoText.htm Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly.
