Adding captions

You can add continuously numbered captions to objects such as images, shapes, text boxes, tables and charts. You can also edit the text and the number ranges for different captions.

  1. Select the item that you want to add a caption to.
  2. Click Create > Caption or right-click and select Add Caption. When you add a caption, the selected item and the caption text are placed in a frame. To move both the selected item and the caption, double-click to select the frame, and then drag.
  3. Select the options that you want, and then click OK. If you want, you can also enter different text in the Caption Type field.
  4. Optional: You can include chapter numbers in captions. Ensure that the text in your document is organized by chapters, and that the chapter titles and, if you want, the section titles, use one of the predefined heading paragraph styles. You must also assign a numbering option to the heading paragraph styles.
    1. Select a caption title from the Caption Type field, and select a numbering style in the Numbering field. You also can enter a caption text.
    2. Click Options.
    3. In the Levels field, select the number of heading levels to include in the chapter number.
    4. Type the character that you want to separate the one or more chapter numbers from the caption number in the Separator field, and then click OK.
    5. In the Create Caption window, click OK.
