How to edit a Table of Figures
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I
do not understand why the process is different than simply right-clicking on
the table, choosing Edit Field, and then finding Table of Figures in the list
like the TOC, TOA and Index, but at least I have a way of modifying the
formatting without having to delete and recreate the TOF every single time.
Thanks so much.

Note that you can use the Manage Styles dialog box to modify the Table of
Figures style: In the Styles pane (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S), click the Manage
Styles button. On the Edit tab, locate Table of Figures, select it, and
click Modify. Use the Format button to change specific settings (Format |
Paragraph, Format | Font, etc.).

Stefan,
Thanks for the response. I have done this and it works very well...until
I
update the entire table (not just the page numbers). I need to do this if
I
have since inserted or deleted a figure. At that point the table reverts
to
the original paragraph formatting when the TOF was created.
The only way that I have made paragraph formatting "stick" even when
updating the entire table, is with my TOC and Index by right-clicking the
field and clicking Edit Field. This then allows me to get to the
four-tabbed
dialog box with the appropriate tab active and then I can click on the
Modify
button. I cannot figure out how to access the Table of Figures tab like I
can with the Index, Table of Contents, and Table of Authorities.

Working in Word '07.
Instead of using "Insert Captions" for my figures, I simply typed a
caption
under each figure and changed the style of those captions to h8. At
the
beginning of my document, I want to list all of my figures with those
captions and the correct page number.
To do this, from the References menu I clicked "Insert Table of
Figures".
I
changed the caption label to none, and built the table from the h8
style
under Options. Everything looks great. I then wanted to change some
of
the
formatting of this table which I would like to maintain when updating
the
entire table. How do I do this?
For my table of contents, when I right-click the table and choose Edit
Field, the TOC entry under Field Names is selected and I can click on
Table
of Contents on the right. This opens a dialog box with four tabs
(Index,
TOC, TOF, TOA) with only the TOC tab active. I can do the same thing
for
the
Index and TOA but cannot find a way to make Table of Figures tab
active.
Outside of deleting it and reinserting one, how can I make edits to the
formatting?
Thanks.
