On the pane into which you type the caption there's a drop-down list
labelled "Category". Select "<none>" from that list and the prefix-text goes
away.
Thanks, Harold. That disposes of the prefix (for new captions, at least), but:
1) Do you know the point of that prefix syntax "<category> Number range
<category>"?
2) IAC, it would be nice to be able to edit a caption, so do you know the
answer to my other question? -
... and when I try to edit the text to remove the nonsense, I'm
stymied: the Help just says "You can edit caption text directly in the
document" - but how?
Anywhere inside the picture frame, the cursor indicates that I can only
move or resize the frame. Trying to click in the caption does not
change the cursor to a text cursor. A right click in the caption (or
anywhere else in the frame, for that matter), brings up a context menu
which includes "Caption" - but that does not allow to edit (or even
delete) the existing text. What am I missing?
I appreciate your help,
John <still a bit baffled>
