Change default style of a caption in Word [duplicate]

When inserting a figure or table, you can add a caption. It has some default styling that you can edit in the Quick Styles pane. By default in Word 2013 this is a 9pt italic font. Unfortunately, this makes the caption and the text itself italic, e.g.

Table 1 Income breakdown

. My academic guidelines, however, indicate that captions should not be in italics, with exception of the enumeration of the figure or table. Some punctuation is necessary as well, e.g.

Table 1. Income breakdown.

Is there any way this can be achieved in an automated manner?
