Hello and thank you ahead of time. I'm trying to spruce up the look of
my thesis. Using the "Insert Caption"... I would like to add an icon to the Table and Figure options, so when I lable a Table as such, or Figure... Standard "Insert Caption"... "Table 1" or "Figure 1" Is there a way to have "(small picture of my choosing) Table 1" ?? or is this VBA time? |

Made a custom Bullet, new style using that bullet, and after creating the Caption, re-assigning the new style with custom bullet. 2 problems with that. 1) is the icon size looks to have a max. size, around 5 pixels or so, looking for something bigger 2) not very stream line to have to re-style every time i add a caption, and of course varying depending if its a Table or Figure |

Custom Caption (with Table Icon) Ex..... (icon) Table 1
What you could do is create an Autotext entry for the Caption you want. So
create the caption as usual, add false text to the title it you want, add the image you want and place it where you want it. Select the whole line including the Paragraph Mark, press Alt+F3, enter a unique name (you proably will be able to use Table). So the next time you want a Table Caption, start typing Table - by the fourth letter you should get the Autotext option, press retrun and you will have your new Caption with image. You require the Paragraph Mark to be included so the Autotext entry will contain the formatting style for the caption. For more on AutoText, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm.

Forgot to mention, I would not do this as a bullet, but just insert the image
before Table and ensure its layout is In Line WIth Text. DeanH "DeanH" wrote: What you could do is create an Autotext entry for the Caption you want.

Custom Caption (with Table Icon) Ex..... (icon) Table 1
Note, however, that your university's Thesis Office may have very
strict rules about formatting (remember, this document will be archived for the ages, and taste in graphic decoration changes very quickly). You do want to be taken seriously by people who will be looking at your work some years from now. On Jul 31, 12:52*am, "Kevin O'Neill" wrote: Hello and thank you ahead of time.

Your right we do have strict formatting, over looked that. Ballacks! |
