Table of Figures (Word 2007)
Following the TOC in my document, I want to insert a Table of Figures. I have
inserted a section page break after the TOC. On the new page (new section), I attempt to insert my Table of Figures, using a figure caption style to generate this table. Soooooooo ... here's my question: why does Word want to replace my TOC with my new Table of Figures? |

Table of Figures (Word 2007)
Table of Contents and Table of Figures are both created using different
formulations of the TOC field. Table of figures, as done using Word 2007's automated features, requires that figures were numbered using the SEQ field, where FIGURE is used as the counter. When you insert the TOF using the Insert Table of Figures tool in the References tab, Word looks for an existing TOC field that contains \c "Figure" in the code, and offers to replace it if one already exists. I've never seen that command futz with an ordinary TOC field, and--here, at least, it gives you the option of NOT replacing an existing TOF (e.g., if you want to insert a 2nd TOF then manually edit the field to provide a different seq counter name). If you used Word's built-in features to number figures, and used the Table of Contents and Insert Table of Figures tools (in the References tab) to insert the TOC and the TOF respectively, then Word will respect the existing TOC when you insert the TOF. Are you saying that it's mistakenly selecting the normal TOC field? -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Faith" wrote in message ...
