figure caption made a space before the number

when I add my caption to my figure i got something like

Fig 1

Fig 2

Fig 3

etc...

But I don't need the space, I want them to be like

Fig1

Fig2

Fig3

The space is added automatically so when I chosed my caption I chose (Fig) no space after the g but it automatically add it.

The second part of my question is: if we solved the space problem can you tell me how to change all the captions that I already have in my documents to delete the space issue.

Thanks

If you replace that space with nothing, when it is updated it does not come back.

Take a look at Stefan's idea to make it a building block for future use.

I don't know of a way to stop Word from  inserting a space between the label and the number, but you can change it easily by using find and replace.

Find what:  Fig[space]

Replace with: Fig[no space] --make sure there's no space after the word "Fig"
