RE: Table Continuation variable - how do I change to lower-case c?

[David Artman]

On the FM main menu, select Special > Variables.
Find the "Table Continuation" variable.
Click Edit Definition.
Change the Definition field to suit your needs.
Click Edit to commit the change.
Click Done on the Variable dialog to close it.

Should do it.

SOLVED Re: Table Continuation variable - how do I change to lower-case c?

[rinch]

I can not edit the variable by selecting Table
Continuation in the Variables pod, then selecting Edit. I just can't find
the Table Continuation variable anywhere in the Edit System Variable dialog
box.

But, if I place the Table Continuation
variable, then click on the Table Continuation marker, it pulls up the
Variables dialog box with Table Continuation highlighted. Now when I click
Edit I can edit the variable from upper-case C to lower-case C in the Edit
System Variable dialog box.

OK, I'm stopping for lunch now. I need
a break.

Thanks again for your help!
Richard

RE: Table Continuation variable - how do I change to lower-case c?

[rinch]

Thanks to everyone for their quick response.
All responses were similar to David's (see below).

However, when I select the Table Continuation
variable then click "Edit Definition" it pulls up the Page Count
variable in the Edit System Variable dialog box. I can't find the way to
edit the Table Continuation variable. It should be so simple, but it just
is not working for me this morning.

The same way you edit the value of any variable. Go to Special > Variable. In 
the Variable dialog box, select Table Continuation and click Edit Definition. 
In the Edit System Variable dialog box, edit the definition and click Edit.

Table Continuation variable - how do I change to lower-case c?

[rinch]

We follow the Chicago Manual Of Style Sixteenth
Edition (CMOS-16) as our primary standard. CMOS-16 3.21 on p. 122 "(Captions)
Syntax, punctuation, and capitalization" tells us, "...Captions
should be capitalized in sentence style (see 8.156)" CMOS-16 8.156
on p. 448, "Principals and examples of sentence-style capitalization"
explains sentence-style capitalization rules.

My editors are complaining that when writers
use the Table Continuation variable, "Continued" is initial capped.
My editors want a lower-case c (continued).

I can not determine how to change the Table
Continuation variable from "Continued" to "continued."
Please, can someone tell me how to change the Table Continuation variable
from a upper-case  "C" to lower-case "c"?

Thanks!
