Default Changing font color of Table of Figures & Table of Tables

I was referring to modifying the style, yes, for example via the Styles and
Formatting pane.

Hi, Stefan: Thanks for your reply. I've interpreted your info. to mean the
following: Select the Table of Figures or Table of Tables (the text
becomes
grey b/cause it comprises field code info)
Rt click on greyed text pops up a menu which includes "Paste, Update
Field, Edit Field, ... Font, Paragraph,...
Selecting Paragraph takes me to the Paragraph 'box'. But I can't find an
option that enables me to modify the paragraph font that will change the
font to blue, for example.


If I interpret your info. to go to the Paragraph style info. via the
Styles
and Formatting window (after selecting one of the Table titles or Figure
legends which has a style based on Caption that will enable it to be
picked
up in the TOC settings & included in the Table of Tables or Table of
Figures)
& then select Modify for that relevant style, I'm taken to the Modify
Style
box. Selecting Paragraph via the Format drop down button, takes me to the
same Paragraph editing menu as mentioned above.

Apologies for this 'messy' description. Tried to include a few screen
shots
but couldn't (probably just as well ;-)).

I'd be grateful for further tutoring on what I need to do to achieve my
goal. Thanks.

Hi! I need to change the font color of the text in my successfully
generated
Table of Figures & Table of Tables (in a scientific report). The text
in
these two tables is hyperlinked just like the text in the Table of
Contents
is hyperlinked. I have done this font change successfully for the Table
of
Contents via the sequence: Select the field codes in the Table of
Contents

Rt click & select Edit Field option Under Field Names window select
the
TOC
field name & then select the Table of Contents button Select Modify
Select the relevant TOC style & then select the Modify button & then in
the
Modify Style box, select the Font color icon & change to the desired
color.

When I attempt to follow the same procedure for the Table of Figures &
the
Table of Tables, the Table of Figures tab is grayed out in the Table of
Contents editing box. I presumed that I would follow the same procedure
for
changing the font in the TO Figures & TO Tables but apparently not. I'm
stumped. I'd be grateful for comment/help.

Thanks.
PLDV.
