Deleting Caption Labels
Summary: How to get rid of labels you added to your captions. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 6, Word 95, Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, and Word 2003.)
The captioning feature of Word allows you to define custom labels for use in your captions. (You learned about this in a different WordTip.) After a time, you may not need a particular caption label any more. To remove a caption label, follow these steps:
- Choose Caption from the Insert menu. Word displays the Caption dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Using the Label drop-down list, choose the label you want to delete.
- Click on Delete Label. The label is immediately deleted.
- Click on Cancel to dismiss the Caption dialog box.
