Formatting Table of Figures
You should still have used a right-aligned tab with a period leader (instead
of manually inserted periods) for your TOF listings; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/SettingTabs.htm -- Suzanne S.

That way you'd have no containers to deal with, and all captions could be handled the same way. Otherwise, I'd do as Susanne suggests: use a table and rotated type. All captions could still be handled the same way. Given that it's done your way, if a TC field could be attached to an image, you could combine our two answers. Styles when you have text and TC fields when you don't. PamC Hu wrote: The problem I have with both these replies is that for a number of pictures there is no "text"--the text is part of the picture and cannot be selected apart from the entire picture. The reason I have to do some pictures this way is as follows. Some pictures have the long axis horizontal (4-5 people lined up next to each other. Because the document has the long axis vertical, I have to rotate the picture 90 degrees so it will display better. Were I not to rotate it, the constraints of the paper would "squish" it too much in reducing it to fit the page. Since I can't find a way to type the label underneath after the picture is rotated and pasted (I can only add a white space underneath and as part of the picture and type the label into the white space where it becomes a part of the picture). This leaves me with no text that can be selected for a style, a caption etc, only a jpeg picture. -- Message posted via OfficeKB.com http://www.officekb.com/Uwe/Forums.a...ables/200812/1 This project is the first time I have ever tried to use Word's formatting etc features. Because of that I doubt I really understood the replies I received. The ones I attempted didn't seem to work. Because the number of pictures was less than a full page, I just went ahead and typed a picture ID on a line, used "periods" to take me out to the end and then typed in page numbers. With a left alignment and then selecting a part of the "periods separators" I then increased or decreased the character separation so that the page numbers would be properly right aligned. the page looks just like a Table of Figures would. I appreciate the suggestions and only wish I knew more about Word to have been able to use them. However what I ended up with will print in the final product just as a "proper" Table of Figures |
