Caption in TOC

I have created a Table of Content with TOC \c, which picks up the entire
caption associated with the SEQIdentifier in the TOC. However, I would like
to pick up only part of the caption text as an entry into the TOC.

Will appreciate any suggestion.

I haven't been able to figure this out either, relative to creating a style
that will accomplish that for students using my thesis template. For now, I
tell them to delete the unwanted portion after the List of Figures is
generated.
 
To accomplish this you'll need to use TC fields.

You can format the paragraph mark of the Caption paragraph to be
hidden (Format>Font>Font tab), and then have a second paragraph
printed on the same line; this second paragraph can have a different
style applied and will not be included in your table of figures/table
of contents. For more on this, referred to as the hidden paragraph
method, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/RunInSidehead.htm.

Note that if you simply want a table of figures/table of contents
without caption labels and numbers, you can use the following field:
{ TOC \a "SEQ_Identifier_Here" }.
 
I'm glad I could help. (I suppose you chose to use the \a switch,
since that solution would be the easy one if there are many captions
to deal with.)
