Converting captions

[Guest]

Hi,

If I have a document with figure captions (Insert, Reference, Caption), can
I easily convert them to table captions? The only way I can think is to
press ALT + F9 to show codes and then do a find & replace with the word
"figure" to "table". Obviously if I have the word "figure" elsewhere in the
document then they would be replaced as well.

Anyone have any suiggestions?

Hi Burt

You're on the right track. You may have the word "figure" elsewhere in the
document, but you're unlikely to have "SEQ Figure \* ARABIC".

You could find "SEQ Figure \* ARABIC" and replace with "SEQ Table \*
ARABIC".

Make a backup copy of your document before you begin, just to be on the safe
side.

Hope this helps.
