I have just completed files for a slide show and have captioned some in the metadata so that they appear in the slide show.They do appear, but those with no caption show <empty>.

When I deleted <empty> for one image all the captions disappeared.

Please can you tell me how to remove <empty> without loosing all the other captions?

many thanks

Tom

    Put a space in the caption field for those you want left blank.

    Hi Laura

    Can you be more specific please?

    do you mean a space in the <empty> field or a space in the Library caption field ?

    If in the Empty -like this < empty> ie a space before the word empty -if in the Library field how do I put in a space?

    Thanks for your help Kind regards

    Tom

    Replace the word 'empty' with a 'space' character!

    There is no halfway house - replacing 'empty' with something useful/meaningful is the only way you're going to get what you want.
