Show / Hide table of figures etc
I am trying to create a range of templates for our company to use for
documents such as reports. Some of these will contain tables, figures and appendices. These templates should be as user friendly as possible. So I was wondering if it is possible to set the template up in such a way that it automatically inserts a table of figures, table of tables etc, but only when one exists. That is if the document does not contain any figures the template will not create a table of figures. Was hoping that some had already been faced with this and come up with a solution. Thanks for your help Carl |

Show / Hide table of figures etc
Well, you could insert a table of contents, table of figures, etc. in
a template (the same way you would in a document), but each of them would display an error message if no entries are found in the document. A better approach is to insert an "example" TOC (TOF, etc.), specifying the necessary options, and then generate an AutoText entry for each of these tables. Users could then insert the appropriate AutoText when they need it. For more on AutoText in general, see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/AutoText.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "CarlSprake" wrote in message ...
