Hi Jamal,

After inserting the caption, you can change the space between 'Figure' and '1' (or whatever the number is) to a non-breaking space. Then, when you insert a cross-reference to the caption, the cross-reference text will stay together on one line.

I noticed that you have a series of captions referenced (Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6). If you would prefer your text to say 'Figures 3-6' or 'Figures 3 to 6':
1. Type the word 'Figures'
2. Insert the first caption's cross-reference
3. Type your ' to ' or '-' separator (note that you can use Ctrl-Shift-Minus) for a non-breaking '-'.
4. Insert the last caption's cross-reference.
5. Select the first caption and press Shift-F9. You should see something like '{REF _Ref290360828 \h}'. Change this to '{REF _Ref290360828 \# 0 \h}', then press F9 to update. You should now see just the caption's number. The '\h' may or may not be there. If it isn't, you don't need to add it.
6. Repeat step 5 for the last caption's cross-reference.

Question

Thank you for the eleboration.

i still have two problems:

please, first see the attached images

- why we cant make the default space in the caption to be of the style "ctrl+shif+space"?

- we use the minus sign as a dash but not the underscore (but shown in upperscore)! if we use the "ctrl+shif+minus" to avoid having the word in two lines then we get the underscore as upperscore while we have been looking for the minus sign dash which is abit smaller than the underscore dash (attached)

is there a way?

regards

Jamal

Because that's the way Word works.

They look different on-screen (so you can tell them apart) but, AFAIK, they print the same.
