Turning Off Automatic Captioning

Summary: Word can be configured so that it automatically adds captions to some of your design elements (tables, figures, etc.). Once this capability is turned on, you may later want to turn it off. Here's how. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

If you previously turned on the automatic captioning feature of Word, you can turn it off by following these steps:

  1. Display the Caption dialog box. (In versions of Word prior to Word 2007, click Insert | Caption. In Word 2007 display the References tab of the ribbon and then click the Insert Caption tool in the Captions group.)
  2. Click on the AutoCaption button. Word displays the AutoCaption dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
  3. Search through the list of objects, removing checkmarks from those for which you no longer want captions.
  4. Click on OK.

Tip #892 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
