RE: change caption of table

In case nothing else helps:
 hack either caption.sty or try 

\renewcommand{\table}{%
	\immediate\write\@auxout{\gdef\string\tables{tableresent}}%
	\renewcommand{\theisafloat}{TABLE~\thetable -- }%
	\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}%
	\@float{table}}%
	{\end@float}%
\renewcommand{\table*}{%
	\immediate\write\@auxout{\gdef\string\tables{tableresent}}%
	\renewcommand{\theisafloat}{TABLE~\thetable -- }%
	\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}%
	\@dblfloat{table}}%
	{\end@dblfloat}%


You NEVER have to use word !

No. This is absolutely hard coded. You'll have to use Word
instead.

PS: OTOH, if you would search the FAQ, it might tell you about a
    package that solves your problem.
