WD97: Updating Cross References Causes Object Duplication (183883)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q183883 SYMPTOMS When you update cross references to captions of objects in
frames, those objects are duplicated at every updated cross reference to that
object. CAUSE The object is anchored to the same paragraph as the
caption. WORKAROUND To prevent the duplication of the object, when you frame an
object that is being captioned, make sure that the anchor of the frame is not
tied to the same paragraph as the caption. To do this, follow these steps:
- View the nonprinting characters:
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the View tab.
- Under Nonprinting Characters, select All.
- Click OK.
- Select the frame of the table.
NOTE: You will
see an anchor in the left margin. - If the anchor for the frame is in the same paragraph as the
caption to the object, point to the anchor and drag it to another
paragraph.
STATUSMicrosoft
