how to have two formats in the Caption style: Label – number

Hi Jamal,

You can apply a Character Style (which you will have to define) to the text that follows the caption, so that only the 'Table #' has the bold attribute.

But in this case, we are going to have two styles for the caption!

May be we need to develop the Word Count Macto in this case as well since the caption will be divided into two styles!

what do you think?

No, you have one Style for the Caption and, after creating the caption, with its text, you apply a Character Style to the labe l(Table #). This is slightly different to what I posted previously, because the default caption Style is Bold and you can't unbold bold text with a Character Style. See attached document for a demonstration.

I can't see why - that macro doesn't care about Styles.
