WD98: Unexpected Behavior, Moving Object Has an AutoCaptionLast reviewed: February 17, 1998Article ID: Q176306 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you move an object that has a caption that was created using the AutoCaption feature, a new caption will be created for that object in the new location. The old caption for that object will remain in its previous location. This problem occurs regardless of the method you use to move the object (by cutting and pasting it, by copying and pasting it, or by dragging it).
CAUSEThe caption is not attached (connected) to the object it is captioning. Word creates a new caption when an object is moved, provided the original caption is not moved along with the object. This insures that each object designated for AutoCaption will always have a caption associated with it.
WORKAROUNDSelect the caption along with the captioned object before moving it. This will prevent a new caption from being created. NOTE: Once the caption is moved, the next time the fields are updated in the document, the sequence field for that caption will be updated to reflect the caption's new location with reference the other captions of that type in the document. To update fields, select the fields to be updated (in this case caption) and press F9. Keywords : macword98 Version : MACINTOSH:98 Platform : MACINTOSH Issue type : kbprb |
