THIS IS A DUPLICATE THREAD AND CAN BE FOUND HERE: Bold only Caption title and number but not text. Reason for duplicate is due to not knowing if other forum is active or not.

Hi Forum,
I know this is almost identical to a thread posted in 2010, but of course Word has had a few changes and updates since then (https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...yle-label.html)

I can't for the life of me workout how to, when I add a new caption, make only the caption title and number e.g. Table 1 and the text following after not bold.

Optional Extra: I would also like to, if possible, make just the caption text in italics as well.

I would not like to use a macro, as it seems to crash my document every time I use the one in the forum link listed above.

I would just like to implement a way so that for future captions, the caption title and number will be bold and the caption text italic AUTOMATICALLY
Cheers,
Julian

P.S: To reiterate, I would like my caption to look like the following: Table 1: This is a caption text
