Hello, I'm using MS Word 2007 on a PC with Windows XP.

Here is my issue:

I am putting a figure and caption in a frame, but i don't want the
entire caption to show up in my table of figures.

For example, I have a caption like:

Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator: (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram

I don't want the entire caption ": (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram" to
show up in my table of figures; therefore, I tried to use a style separator
and I have:

Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator % : (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram

where "%" is intended to represent the style separator symbol

The caption looks great when viewed on screen, however, when I print the
document or preview it, there's a line break, i.e., my caption is now:

Figure 2.1: Exploding Foil Initiator
: (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram

The ": (a) Overall; (b) Free-body diagram" is being pushed to the next line.

This only happens when I use a frame, if take the
caption out of the frame it looks perfectly fine, is there a way to work
around this?

Thank you for any help you can provide me...
 
Hi Pamelia. Thank you so much for your reply. Yeah, I've made sure the
styles are different. As I stated, when you view it on screen everything
looks great. But when looking at it in Print Preview or actually printing
the document, there is a line break right at the style separator.

Is there someway I can send you a page from my document to show you what's
occuring? I'm working on finishing up my Master's thesis and this little
issue is driving me nuts :)

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated...

Thank you,
 
I don't understand...is there a fix?

Thank you,
I was not able to duplicate your results. So, I suggest that you make sure
the style for the figure parts is not the same as the style for the main
