Why is the text following a style separator sometimes forced to a new line?
For my thesis, I have several tables, and the title of each table is in a single merged cell that spans the width of the table. I am using style separator to select the first few words of table title to appear in my list of figures while keeping the rest of the text in ‘normal style’. Occasionally the text that comes after the style separator is forced to a new line. But this problem is only occurring in two of my ten tables! I’ve spent a few hours on this issue and can’t see any reason why most of my tables are not having this problem, but a few are. I didn’t notice this issue at first because I was making my edits with paragraph marks shown and the text on either side of the style separator was on the same line. When paragraph marks are hidden, the problem is apparent.
What I want:
Table 1.1 Air temperature (style separator) as affected by blah blah blah
What is happening:
Table 1.1 Air temperature (style separator)
as affected by blah blah blah
