Re: Captions and cross reference and more

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Word uses REF fields for cross-references. Press Alt+F9 to display
field codes. You'll find that your cross-references look similar to:
{ REF _Ref148757078 \h }. Add \* lower to the field code; this forces
lowercase letters. Press F9 to update. Press Alt+F9 again to hide
field codes.

You can use find and replace to automate this: First, type \* lower
in a document and then cut it to the clipboard. Make sure that field
codes are displayed, and then, on the Edit menu, click Replace. In the
Find and Replace dialog box, click More to display all options. Check
the "Use wildcards" option. In the "Find what" box, type <REF *>. In
the "Replace with" box, type ^&^c. Then click Replace All.

Note, however, that the find and replace described above will add
\* lower to ANY cross-reference field, not just to figure captions.

hello,

i wrote a document with hundreds of pictures in Word 2003

here the problem and i am asking what to do...

Every pictures has a caption below the picture itself; the caption
is
"Figure xx-yy" where xx is the chapter number and yy is the
prograssive.

I referenced every picture in the text like "Figure xx-yy" but i
would
like the reference without the first lettere capitalized.
in other words...
1) under the picture "Figure xx-yy"
2) in the text "figure xx-yy"

how can i do NOW... once the document is already written? I do not
want
to change it manually.

Another question:
i am not able to change the space between the last line of body text
and the footer. It is easy to change the space between first text
line
and header (place the mouse on the vertical ruler and move the
space),
but cannot do the same for footer.

Thanks
