Inserting references without a capital letter "WAYNEL" <home[ at ]wlawson.co.uk> 25.09.2006 09:37:28 Hi Does anyone have a solution for inserting references (i.e. from captions) without it coming up with a capital letter in the front? [Quoted Text] >From example; if I have a chart title Figure 1, then when inserting it as a caption it need to be a capital letter. However, when inserting into text then it may not need to be a capital letter. Yes I can change it to a lower case but when I update the fields or reload the doc it turns back to a capital letter. In summery, how to I maintain the control of choosing a lower or uppercase character at the beginning of a caption reference in text but also maintain it format after field updated and also allow the caption to be in capital all the time? Cheers Wayne

Re: Inserting references without a capital letter "Stefan Blom" <no.spam[ at ]please.xyz> 25.09.2006 10:10:30 Press Alt+F9 to display field codes. To each REF field (which are used for cross-references), add \* lower. For example: Change { REF _Ref146948309 } to { REF _Ref146948309 \* lower \h }. When you are done, make sure to select the whole document and then press F9 to update fields. Press Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. You can use find and replace to automate this: First, type \* lower in a document and then cut it to the clipboard. Make sure that field codes are displayed, and then, on the Edit menu, click Replace. In the Find and Replace dialog box, click More to display all options. Check the "Use wildcards" option. In the "Find what" box, type <REF *>. In the "Replace with" box, type ^&^c. Then click Replace All. Note, however, that the find and replace described above will add \* lower to ANY cross-reference field, not just to figure captions. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "WAYNEL" wrote in message news:1159177047.993364.261490[ at ]i3g2000cwc.googlegroups.com...

In other words, you don't have to add the \h switch if it isn't present in the field code in the first place... :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP

Do you know of any newer versions of word that will have this in as a menus option?

Word 2007 changes everything in the user interface, but, no, I don't know if this particular thing is changed.
