table of figures

[Pete]

Hi,

wondering if you could help - some of my figure captions
are very long, so that when I make a table of figures it
runs onto two or three lines per figure. Is it possible
to somehow define a "table name" separate from the caption
and still keep the linking between figures etc.

e.g.

table of figures
Figure 1.1 Helicopter Types
....

[image]
Figure 1.1 Helicopeter Types (Images courtesy of Joe
bloggs limited of Never Never land)

for example can you edit hidden field codes {TOC
\c "figure" "new description"} or something. Stab in the
dark - any clues?

does that make sense?

thanks

Pete

Why don't you make the courtesy lines a second line of text under the image
caption? It would be much easier than any workaround. And, you could make
that line a bit smaller text, too; use a style on it.

Anne's suggestion is a good one, and probably easier than the alternative,
which is to construct the TOF from TC fields, in which you can include the
exact text you want. It does sound as if only the first part is really the
caption. The rest is description, photo credit, etc., all of which are *not*
part of the caption.

A third method would be to use a style-separator (you'd need Word 2002
and up IIRC) or a hidden paragraph mark between the part of the caption
you want in your TOC and the one you don't.
