Table of Figures - tabs?
My captions are all set up like:
Figure 3-1. The Caption Would Be Here When I create my table of figures, is it possible to align the captions themselves? I.e., put a tab between the figure number and the caption so the captions all align down the page. Right now there's just the space between number and caption, as I have put in my captions. This is confusing to explain...hope it makes sense. Using Word 2003. |

I assume you've tried inserting tabs manually. That will work until the
first time you update the entire table, when it will revert to a space again. Have you tried putting a tab in the caption itself, instead of a space? That's probably the only way you will be able to get it to stick. Fred "Jen" wrote: My captions are all set up like: Figure 3-1.

Yeah, I've stayed away from the manual changes because I know this TOC will
get updated many times. I really don't want a tab between the number and caption, so perhaps I'm just stuck with the funny-looking TOC...you'd think this would be something that could be set.
