Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer

Captions and Number Ranges

In text documents one can create separate, continuously numbered captions for figures, tables

and drawing objects.

Users can also define as many separate number ranges as desired. The captions are linked to

the figures, tables or drawing objects in a frame. Select the frame when the object is moved.

Defining Captions

1. Select the figure or the object or place the cursor in the table that requires a caption.

2. Open the Caption dialogue with the command Insert > Caption.

3. The dialogue shows a preview of how the caption will look. Further text can be inserted in

the Caption field.

4. Click OK.

Note: If one would like to place a tab stop between the automatic captions (e.g., “Figure 1”) and the additional

text, can be inserted it in the document later. Press Ctrl+Tab to insert a tab stop at the beginning of a paragraph.

The paragraph format of an automatically applied caption is obtained from the Paragraph

Style “Illustration”, “Table”, “Drawing” or “Text”. All of these paragraph styles

are derived from the “Caption” Paragraph Style. So if all captions always are to appear in

green, for example, simply modify the “Caption” Paragraph Style accordingly in the Styles

and Formatting window. To examine this, switch the Styles and Formatting window to the

“All St yles” view or to the hierarchical view.

Editing or deleting captions

A caption is normal text which is placed together with an object in a common frame.

1. Edit the caption text just like normal text.

2. Delete the caption text just like normal text.

Inserting an object in a number range

Suppose the document contains illustrations as linked graphics, and these are labelled in a

number range called “Illustration”. Now the user wants to add a drawing obtained

with the drawing tools as a further illustration. Extend the automatic number range

“Illustration” as follows:

1. Below the additional illustration, insert a new line and apply the Paragraph Style

“Illustration.”

2. Open the Insert > Fields > Other dialogue. Pressing Ctrl+F2 is another way to open

this dialogue.

3. On the Variables tab, select the Type “Number range”. Under Selection select

”Illustration”.

4. Click Insert
