One way is to apply the Style to some text, change the formatting to what you require, right-click, then choose Styles>Update (stylename) to match selection.

Thanks Paul. I know how to apply styles, but your solution means that when the Figure or Table is referred to in the text, it is formatted in bold.

I have solved this by inserting cross reference to the table or figure after I have formatted the figure or table label. This ensures that the references is then not in bold.

The formatting depends on the Style definitions - there is nothing in the code to make anything bold. Similarly, the changes to the Style definitions do not of themselves cause cross-references to them to change format.

Hi there, I almost don't know anything about marco.
I've already followed the instruction,
already created captionLabel style,
already created module with captionBold marco,
already added this to the ribbon.
However, it's just worked when I clicked on the module shortcut on the ribbon, I mean it did not automatically worked when I inserted a new caption, I have to do it manually.
I don't know where I do it wrong.
Please help me, thank you very much.

Hi,
If I didn't have Paul's code, how would I create such macro? How to make the macro apply the change automatically to every caption label?

Why do you want to re-invent the wheel?

As has already been discussed, the changes won't happen automatically - you have to run the macro and it won't do that of its own accord.

We hope that such issues to be resolved and gets out-of-the-box in the future releases

That is unlikely to happen unless Microsoft is persuaded there is a significant business case for it. If you don't like the way something works, or you'd like to see some new functionality added, you could make a suggestion for a change at http://word.uservoice.com/.
