Adding Tabs in a TOC between the caption number and text
Hello,
I need to add a tab only in the TOC between the Table/Figure caption and the remaining title. I don't want to add tabs to each figure (there are almost 200 of them). Is there a way to do this with a macro or setting so I don't need to do them by hand? Thanks! |

Is there a way to do this with a macro or setting so I don't need to do them by hand? If you consider a macro, then I suggest you use it (or a search/replace run) to add them tabs to the caption itself, sounds a lot more straigth-forward to me: If you add anything to your ToF directly, it will be gone next time you update that field. If you tell us exactly how your captions look like, I'm sure we can show you what the search-field ought to be filled with to get you there in no time. 2cents ..bob -- /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | MS \ / | MVP X Against HTML | for / \ in e-mail & news | Word |

Adding Tabs in a TOC between the caption number and text
Hi Bob,
In the document itself, the captions look like this TABLE 1.2-A title here After the table/figure number, there is a soft return (hard return removes the style from the title, which I want carried into the TOC). When I create the TOC, a space is placed between the table number and text. What I would really like is a tab placed there instead so that my hanging indent looks right (the title out flush left, a white space, then all the title text together to the right). I don't want to put tabs in the Table Titles since they are centered and a tab screws this up. Does this help? |

Adding Tabs in a TOC between the caption number and text
You can get this effect with a little effort: you'll need to add a tab
character to the end of the first line of each table caption and a tab stop to the TOC style. Then toggle the TOC field code (Alt+F9), add the \w switch to make the TOC preserve tab characters, Alt+F9 again, and F9 to update. Alternatively, if you'd rather have each TOC entry on two lines, like the caption itself, use the \x switch instead. -- Suzanne S.
