Dear Microsoft community, I am trying to add a style separator in a table this works fine if I start a new document and a table but doesn’t work as expected when I am using the table in my curren...

Rjaga760 Click inside the table and then from the table Layout tab, click on Convert to Text
In the Convert Table dialog, select Paragraph Marks and then click on OK.
Hover the mouse over the frame that is still present
and then right click and left click on Format Frame
Then in the Frame dialog, click no Remove Frame
Select the image and text that was originally in the table and then via the Insert>Table dropdown, convert the text back to a Table.

One post with the link would be sufficient.
I can confirm that I see the same problem in your sample.

I am sorry for the multiple posts, for some reason when I was posting the comment kept on not showing up. So I thought it is being deleted, that is why posted it again.
Thanks

Rjaga760Not a problem.
Your caption is (1} not in the Caption Style, which could cause a problem with a Table of Figures, and (2) the reason why the Style Separator does not work is that your first paragraph is in a Frame, the second is not. The Style Separator can't deal with that.
I'm not sure how this happened but suspect that the text came from a converted source.
Remove the Frame. You can do this by selecting the part of the Caption you want to appear in a Table of Figures and applying the Caption style to it. You can modify the Caption style to look however you want.

I am not sure I follow what you mean. If I check the frame settings in my document it shows that it’s set to None. Plus if I select a text and apply the caption style to it then the text is getting wrapped.
However, when I make a new table and copy paste the figure and caption onto there then the style separator works fine. But to do this for all 100 images seems tedious. Is there another way I can correct current table somehow?
It would be great if you could give me a demonstration or tell directions in simple terms. I am sorry for these questions, but I am not an expert in word and any help from your side is deeply appreciated.
Thank you
Best regards.
