Can you elaborate on how to do that?

Any style change to the caption affects the entire caption.



In the example I gave, "Figure 1: This is the caption title." is the caption. If I change the style of "Figure 1", it changes the style for the entire line, as well.

That's the whole point of what I advised.

You said you didn't want the text to be bold. That means making it regular text. You do that by changing the Caption Style which is a paragraph Style.

Then you apply the Strong Style to the Figure # for each caption. The Strong Style, being a character Style, only applies to the selected text.

I think you are misunderstanding the initial question.

Under the picture there is a caption that needs to be included into the list of figures. This caption consists of three components:

1. Figure #

2. Figure title.

3. Figure text.

The list of figures needs to include figure # and figure title.

I make a caption and have it include figure # and figure title, then put a style separator between the figure title and figure text so that they are inline.

Any change made to either the figure # or figure title affects BOTH the figure # and figure title, as they are the same style as dictated by being the caption.

Does that make more sense?
