Captions and cross reference and more
hello,
i wrote a document with hundreds of pictures in Word 2003 here the problem and i am asking what to do... Every pictures has a caption below the picture itself; the caption is "Figure xx-yy" where xx is the chapter number and yy is the prograssive. I referenced every picture in the text like "Figure xx-yy" but i would like the reference without the first lettere capitalized. in other words... 1) under the picture "Figure xx-yy" 2) in the text "figure xx-yy" how can i do NOW... once the document is already written? I do not want to change it manually. Another question: i am not able to change the space between the last line of body text and the footer. It is easy to change the space between first text line and header (place the mouse on the vertical ruler and move the space), but cannot do the same for footer. Thanks |

Word uses REF fields for cross-references. Press Alt+F9 to display
field codes. You'll find that your cross-references look similar to: { REF _Ref148757078 \h }. Add \* lower to the field code; this forces lowercase letters. Press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. You can use find and replace to automate this: First, type \* lower in a document and then cut it to the clipboard. Make sure that field codes are displayed, and then, on the Edit menu, click Replace. In the Find and Replace dialog box, click More to display all options. Check the "Use wildcards" option. In the "Find what" box, type REF *. In the "Replace with" box, type ^&^c. Then click Replace All. Note, however, that the find and replace described above will add \* lower to ANY cross-reference field, not just to figure captions. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "steff" wrote in message ups.com... hello, i wrote a document with hundreds of pictures in Word 2003 here the problem and i am asking what to do...

For your second question: Choose View | Header and Footer to activate
the header/footer area. Place the cursor in the first footer paragraph. Choose Format | Paragraph. Click the Indents and Spacing tab. Specify the desired Spacing Before and click OK. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "steff" wrote in message ups.com... hello, i wrote a document with hundreds of pictures in Word 2003 here the problem and i am asking what to do...

Let me explain: This is my thesis degree work and i have: a header with references to chapters and page numbers a footer with just page number for the first page of a chapter. Between header and footer i have body text and footnote. Following your suggestion, i can change the height of the footer itself, but if i lower the footer of 12 points, the footnote still remains in the same position! even if i set zero points after the footnote in its style... it does not go down!!! |

In the Footnote options (Insert | Reference | Footnote), change the
"Place at" option from "Beneath text" to "Bottom of page." Click Close to close the dialog box without inserting an additional footnote. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "steff" wrote in message ups.com...

Click Close to close the dialog box without inserting an additional footnote. Already done! OK... i uploaded two pictures: http://i10.tinypic.com/2ug093n.jpg this one show a wrong layout, where there is lot of space between the footnote and the footer and between the body text and footnote but in the same section of the document http://i9.tinypic.com/2qknhig.jpg in a page without footnote, everything is OK. In the properties of the footnote style, the space before and after the footnote is ZERO many thanks |

It may not be relevant, but it would appear that your footer margin and
bottom margin are the same. If you don't have any text in the footer (as appears to be the case), try reducing the footer margin to 0". Alternatively, increase the bottom margin. -- Suzanne S.
