Another approach is to use two separate styles for the table number and
table title. Add the needed amount of Space After to the Table Number style
so that you don't have to insert extra lines or empty paragraphs. Include
only the Table Title style in your list of tables and format the
corresponding TOC style to have Table X. numbering.

Hi,

I'm using Word2003. What I have done is that after the
caption, I have created 2 manual line break so that the
description of the table appears beside the caption in
the TOC. In doing so the two Manual Line Break appear as
two spaces in the TOC.

In my document
-------------------------
Table I(Manual Line Break)
(Manual Line Break)
Description of Table I

In the TOC
------------------------

Table I ..Long description of Table I
which takes two lines instead of one


Thanks for the help.
Pablo,

Hi Eric,

Which version of Word are we dealing with, here? I'm not
able to reproduce, in a quick test, what you describe

and
show. I suspect it has something to do with how you've
formatted either the caption (is that what you mean by

table
title?) or the TOC style (as bullets and numbering?). My
first thought is that you have to make sure the tab and
indent settings for that style align.

Is it possible to remove the spaces created by a

manual
line break (SHIFT-ENTER) in the TOC or Table of

tables?
The problem that I have is when the titles of my

tables
are long the first line is not aligned with the second
line in the Table of tables because the two (SHIFT-

ENTER)
created in the text. Anyhelp idea is welcome, thanks.

Table 1 ..Blabla...............
blablabla............... p.1
