How to edit a Table of Figures
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. |

How to edit a Table of Figures
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.

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.
