Help with macro to add ":" after Table #

[Guest]

I am trying to create a macro in MS Word 2000 where the macro will change
style of all my table title( I can make this change by find and replace by
recording) but how can I add ":" after Table #.

For example
Currently I have all my tables with following title
Table 1 Abc Xyz
and I am trying to achive
Table 1: Abc Xyz

Any help on coding... Thanks

You don't need a macro.

Use Edit>Replace>More>Use Wildcards.

Type in the find field: (Table [1-9]{1,})
Type in replace field: \1:
Replace All

You can add the 'Table' and the ':' to the numbering scheme itself, via the
Bullets and Numbering dialog.

But note that table captions are usually not created via Bullets and
Numbering, but rather via the Caption dialog box.

Thanks for the help Greg. My table titles are caption so, [1-9] do not
recognise the numerical values. so, I deleted [1-9] from the code and entered
it as (Table {1,}) this is working but ":" is replaced before number i.e.
Table: 1 instead of Table 1:

Any futher help with this.

Thanks
