If you have Word for Office 365, Word 2016, Word 2013, Word 2010, or Word 2007 here are some [[https://support.office.com/en-us/article/add-format-or-delete-captions-in-word-82fa82a4-f0f3-438f-a422-34bb5cef9c81|alternative instructions]] on how to insert captions. | <note>Sometimes the text will be too long to fully copy when you insert the new caption. In this case, //after// you insert the caption and have modified the style you can copy and paste, or type, the remaining text that did not copy the first time. It should automatically match the style. See the Odd Formatting section below for more information.</note> |

| |
Once you have successfully inserted your caption you will have to modify the style. | |
| |
To Modify Caption Style: | |
- In the Style Pane go to the Captions Style | |
- Position you mouse over the Captions Style | |
- This will reveal a small black arrow {{:public:nnels:etext:modify_style_menu_arrow.png?nolink&200|}} | |
- Click the Arrow to open up the Drop Menu {{:public:nnels:etext:captions_style_drop_menu.png?nolink&200|}} | |
- Select ''Modify Style ...'' | |
- This will open up a popup menu called 'Modify Style' | |
- Change the following: | |
- The font to ''Arial 12'' | |
- Remove ''//Italic//'' | |
- Select ''Automatic'' for color | |
- Select ''Automatically Update'' | |
| |

After you have modified the style it should stay that way for the rest of your editing. [[https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cFjrVXqqKS|Click here for a video on How to Insert Captions in Word]]. | |
| |
<note>Sometimes, after you add a caption, you may need to clear formatting from the image once again. Look out for a black dot appearing beside the image; if it appears, select the image and then select ''Clear Formatting'' from the Style Pane.</note> | |
| |
<note>Sometimes the text will be too long to fully copy when you insert the new caption.

It should automatically match the style.</note> | |
| |
<note>A Caption should //never// be more than one paragraph long.</note> | |
