Captions
I am trying to finish up my 222 page thesis and it has a lot of figures and I
often cross reference then. But I had to place a space between caption and the figure. now all through the document every time I reference a figure there's a line spacing. is there a way to prevent the cross reference from going to the next line? |

You probably pressed Enter at the beginning of your caption to get the "line
space." This inserted an empty paragraph inside the bookmark for your cross-reference. This is all too easy to do but could have been easily avoided in this case by using Ctrl+0 to add 12 pts Spacing Before to each caption; better still, you should add some Spacing Before to the Caption style. It's not too late to do that, and deleting the excess paragraph would probably solve the problem. The alternative is to reinsert every cross-reference or every bookmark. -- Suzanne S.

your correct. that's exactly what I had done. I've nearly gone back through
all one million figures and removed the line return. However, what i did to add a line between the text and the figure is click on the image, press the right arrow and hit enter. thank you Daniel "Suzanne S.

If you pressed Enter at the end of the paragraph before the caption instead
of at the beginning of the caption, you shouldn't have gotten the empty paragraph inside the bookmark, so I'm not sure how that happened. I hope "one million" is an exaggeration! -- Suzanne S.
