Insert>Caption

[PaulG]

How can I insert a caption directly in a cell?

Insert | Caption doesn't work for you?

 

[PaulG]

I normally prefer to insert captions in the Heading Row of Tables in order to
take advantage of the Table>Heading Rows Repeat capability.

However, Captions seem to prefer to insert themselves outside Tables when
the cursor is located inside the Heading Row.

For this reason, I end up having to cut-and-paste Captions into Heading Rows
after the insertion.

Yes, I remembered this after posting. I have no idea why a caption can't be
created (inline) in a table cell, but AFAIK inserting it and then moving it
is currently the only way to do this.

Have you tried it? It doesn't work.

Insert it outside the table and then use cut and paste. Alternatively,
save an existing caption as an AutoText entry (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm) and then insert
the AutoText.
