style separators in captions

[Angie]

I have been trying to include only the first sentence of a caption in my
table of figures by using the style separator, as suggested in a number of
earlier threads. However, when I insert a style separator (Word 2007), two
things happen that make no sense:

1. the page break inserted below my caption no longer acts as a page break
(even though it still shows up)
2. I still cannot change the format within the caption. Everything stays
formatted as a caption, even though I have supposedly inserted a style break
(ctrl alt enter, as suggested in other threads)

Does anyone know how to makethis work? Is the shortcut different in Word
2007? Where does the style separator actually appear on the menu?

Note that the style separator is added at the end of the paragraph; to see
that, you may want to display nonprinting marks. Then you should be able to
add text after the style separator and apply a different style.
