Caption style is gone, changed to "Style Caption + Left: 0"
I needed to change the formatting of the Caption style, but Word changed the
name to "Style Caption + Left: 0". Meanwhile the Caption style is missing from the lists where I can select a style, though it still appears in lists such as the "Based on Style" list. I'm familiar with the style + formatting convention, which lets me use Ctrl-Space to give me the basic version of the style. But I'm unable to turn this new type back into just Caption. Help much appreciated. -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...neral/201003/1 |

Caption style is gone, changed to "Style Caption + Left: 0"
Caption is one of those styles that does not want to display but you can get
to it via the Styles & Formatting pane. At the bottom of this pane, see the Show mune box, select Custom, Add a tick on the styles you wish to show all the time, Caption is on this list. Press OK when you are finished and this new listing, including Caption, will now remain for the documents based on that template. The "Caption + Left" is created by Word because in at least one occurence you have manually changed a Caption with (in this instance) Left alignment. You see these "styles" because the option "Keep track of formatting" found under Tools, Options, Edit is checked. Uncheck this if you don't want to see this types of styles. Or don't format styles manually. Please note, if you turn off "Keep track..." then the Select All feature in the Styles & formatting pane will not work. Hope this helps DeanH "christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com" wrote: I needed to change the formatting of the Caption style, but Word changed the name to "Style Caption + Left: 0".

Caption style is gone, changed to "Style Caption + Left: 0"
Your suggestion in the first paragraph solved the problem. Thanks for that.
But I'd like to say again that what I got isn't the familiar "Caption + Left". This said "Style Caption + Left". Maybe that's just the new way Word does it, but it wouldn't react to Ctrl-Space to give me the unaltered style. Is there a way to run that command explicitly without the keyboard shortcut?

Caption style is gone, changed to "Style Caption + Left: 0"
I have never seen "Style Caption" instead of Caption. Are you sure you or
someone else didn't create that style name, either on purpose or accidentally? It's not one of Word's built-in names, and this is definitely not the "new way" Word does it. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com" u3143@uwe wrote in message news:a5ca8d4cff669@uwe...

I've seen this happen before (the "Style Caption + ..." form), so it's some
part of Word now. I just don't know what it's for, like so many things in Word. I'm using Word 2003 on XP with whatever updating they've been doing.
