Defining caption styles

You can define how captions are styled for exported figures and tables.

Prerequisites

When using the Scroll Title macro to define captions in Confluence, you need to first add the Scroll Caption Paragraph style to the Word template

To replace the default Figure caption style with a customized figure caption style:

Insert a picture to the Word template (click the Insert tab > Picture > Upload method > select a picture > Insert)
Right-click on the picture and click Insert Caption.
Please note, the label used for a figure depends on the language of the MS Word installation that was used to create the template (e.g. English version = Figure, German version = Abbildung).
Once confirmed, select the position of your label in the Position drop-down.
After this, define your numbering for the caption by selecting the Format option
Once the positioning and numbering preferences have been confirmed, click OK and the caption will be inserted.
Next, highlight the caption and select Styles Pane in the upper right corner:
The Styles section is then displayed. Select the dropdown menu for the Caption style and click Modify Style

Info

When using the Scroll Title macro to define captions in Confluence, you need to select Modify Style for the Scroll Caption Paragraph style in the Word template
Within the Modify Style screen, you can now change the font, fontsize, color and other properties for the caption
Once all preferences for the style have been selected, click OK to save your changes. The caption will reflect the assigned style.
Finish the process by deleting the picture and caption and then save your template
