Captions inside text box
Figure captions inside text box are not recognized when creating a Table of
Figures, including 'in line wrapping' style. I'm attempting to creating floating photos with attached figure captions and then create a Table of Figures. How can I do that in Office 2003? |

I'm attempting to creating floating photos with attached figure captions and then create a Table of Figures. How can I do that in Office 2003? Use frames instead of text boxes. (Text boxes are in Word's graphics layer, which is invisible to the TOC/TOF mechanism. Frames, while they're positionable like text boxes, are in the text layer.) Existing text boxes can be converted to frames -- select the box, click Format Text Box, go to the Text Box tab, and click Convert to Frame. Or you can use a macro to convert them all in one shot: Sub TBtoFrame() Dim TB As Shape For Each TB In ActiveDocument.Shapes If TB.Type = msoTextBox Then TB.ConvertToFrame End If Next End Sub New frames can be inserted from the button on the Forms toolbar (which you can Alt+drag to any other toolbar for convenience). Or you can define a paragraph style that includes a frame, which appears when you apply the style to text. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
