Caption on word wrapped picture to appear in TOC
Hello, I want to reference a picture in the TOC. I can link the caption ok
if the picture is inline. But when I wrap the text around the picture and then produce a caption, that caption is inserted into a text box and I am unable to add it to the TOC as "selected text". How can this be done? Thanks for you help. R. Stricker |

Caption on word wrapped picture to appear in TOC
Convert the text box to a frame. Better still, insert the picture and
caption into the same frame (which will keep them together). -- Suzanne S.

Caption on word wrapped picture to appear in TOC (Did I mention this is Word 2007?
Hi, thanks for the idea, but I am still lost. I am using Word 2007 and I
don't see the option to "convert a text box to a frame". When text is "wrapped" a caption is inserted below the picture, but in a text box that hides it from the TOC. If I use a drawing shape it has no "text reference" to add to the TOC... Un-wrapped (in line) works fine, but (of course) I am wondering if it is possible to do it the other way. Any ideas? Thanks for any help with this. R. Stricker |

Actually the TOC *can* see text in text boxes in Word 2007, but this
facility is not backward-compatible. If the Format Text Box dialog still exists, the "Convert to frame" option is on the Text Box tab. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the encouragement!
Thanks Suzanne, with your encouragement I looked deeper into the TOC options
and see that it can pick up the caption even when that caption is in a separate text box. I had become confused by not seeing the "add to TOC" option when I selected the caption text. Thanks for helping me. R. Stricker |
