Default Replace table and figure caption style to another style Word VBA

Hi,

I have defined two styles (CapitonTable and CaptionFigure) with different formats,

I want a VBA code that finds and replaces a default caption style for tables to CapitonTable style, and in the same way for figures to CaptionFigure.

Thanks

You can do this with find/replace and can also record it if you want it as a macro. Basic process is:
1. Show all field codes (by pressing Alt-F9)
2. Do a find/replace and search for "seq table" and replace with the style
3. Do a find/replace and search for "seq figure" and replace with the style
4. Reveal all field values (by pressing Alt-F9)

Here is your code tidied up a bit. Note that the toggling of field codes makes an assumption that codes were not showing before the macro ran. That is risky so I changed those to explicitly set the value instead of toggling true/false.
Code:
Sub ReplaceCaptionStyle()

' Showing all field codes (or by pressing Alt-F9):
  ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = True

    ' Replace "CapTbl" with your own alternative caption style for tables
    .Replacement.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("CapTbl")
    .Text = "seq table"
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = True
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False

    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    
    ' Replace "CapFig" with your own alternative caption style for figures
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("CapFig")
    .Text = "seq figure"
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
  End With

It's an amazing idea and new info for me in VBA
Thanks for your warning and note
We keep learning
Thanks again Mr. Andrew

Excuse me, Mr. Andrew, I think we have a mistake in our code,
when applying this code directly, only styles of the table caption changed to "CapTbl" style, while styles of the figure caption remain unchanged.

I tried to make a separate macro for each one, but only for tables work fine, while for figure ones do not work at all, so you need to use the F&R box for figures, hence is there any mistake for the figure part in our code?

However, using F&R box works fine for both tables and figures.
Also, you can download "Test" in the attachment to apply on it and explore the problem.

The issue is that your figure captions are not in the main body of the document. Your example has the graphic floating and the caption is sitting in a text frame. To solve that, you need the macro to find the storyranges which might contain an entry.
Code:
Sub ReplaceCaptionStyle()
' Developed by Andrew Lockton (Guessed)
' Edited by laith93
' www.msofficeforums.com
  Dim aRng As Range

' Showing all field codes (or by pressing Alt-F9):
  ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = True
  
  For Each aRng In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
    With aRng.Find
      .ClearFormatting
      .Replacement.ClearFormatting
      ' Replace "CapTbl" with your own alternative caption style for tables
      .Replacement.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("CapTbl")
      .Text = "seq table"
      .Forward = True
      .Wrap = wdFindContinue
      .Format = True
      .MatchCase = False
      .MatchWholeWord = False
      .MatchKashida = False
      .MatchDiacritics = False
      .MatchAlefHamza = False
      .MatchControl = False
      .MatchWildcards = False
      .MatchSoundsLike = False
      .MatchAllWordForms = False
      .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
      
      ' Replace "CapFig" with your own alternative caption style for figures
      .Replacement.ClearFormatting
      .Replacement.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("CapFig")
      .Text = "seq figure"
      .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    End With
  Next aRng
    
  ' Hiding all field codes (or by pressing Alt-F9):
  ActiveWindow.View.ShowFieldCodes = False
End Sub

Wow, you are perfect
You are completely right
I always use the wrap option for figures to "Top and Bottom", and the caption inserted to a text box automatically.

Thanks Mr. Andrew for your assistance and guidance
Best Regards
