Manual line break spaces on TOC or Table of tables
Hi,
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 Eric, |

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.

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.

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. -- Suzanne S.

Hi,
By default when I insert a caption (Table, Figure, etc..) it is assigned the "caption" style. Is there a way to assign a different style to a caption (Table, Figure, etc..) when it is created or do I have to modify the "caption" style of the caption (Table, Figure, etc...) after it has been created? -----Original Message----- Another approach is to use two separate styles for the table number and table title.

You can use the Caption style for the figure number if desired. It can be
modified to look any way you want it. -- Suzanne S.

Hi,
If I create two separate styles for the table number and table title, I will have to create two table of content (TOC, one for the Headings and one for the Tables.

If you want to include the tables in the main table of contents, include the
Table Title style at a level one below the lowest level of heading included (for example, if you're including Headings 1-3, give Table Title an outline level of 4) and format that TOC style (TOC 4 in this example) to match whatever heading level you like, or format it differently. -- Suzanne S.
