Creating a Table of Figures
I have a doucment that I need to create a table of figures and tables. I go
to the first fugure and highlight the text I want to be part of my table and I go to Insert, Reference, Caption when I go OK Word creates a text that says Figure 1 underneath what I highlighted I want the text I highlighted to be Figure 1 because it already has the heading "Figure S.1.1 Mechanism of Action" How do I get Word to use what I highlight to be the caption for my Tables of Figures. Also can you have figures and tables in the Table of Figures. If I select "Figure for the figure and Table for the Table will it create to separate tables. One of figures and one of tables. I am using Word 2003. Thanks in advance for your help. Dee |

If you want Word to pick up captions automatically for a Table of Figures or
List of Tables, you need to create the captions the way Word wants to. So select the caption text you've already typed (excluding the Figure number), copy it, and paste into the Caption dialog after the label Word inserts. Then delete the caption you had already typed. My guess is you may not be able to get Word to create exactly the type of figure numbering you are using ("Figure S.1.1"), so you might be better off using a specific style or styles for the figure captions and table titles. Then create an ordinary TOC that will pick up this style or styles. This might be a better solution, anyway, since Word by default does not combine figure and table captions in the same Table of Figures, so you would probably have to use a TOC anyway. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne-
THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION to the user, but the post intrigued me and I'd like to get your impressions on what I discovered while playing around; 1) If you type a caption in and leave your insertion point at the beginning or end of it (don't select it), when you insert the caption specify what type frm the list (Table, Figure, etc.) but put a check in the box for Exclude Label from Caption. Your typed caption will be reformatted accordingly and it will be assigned a sequential number as usual. That number field is inserted in the doc, but it can be deleted witout a problem. The Table/Figure will still be associated with the correct number when the TOF is generated. (I don't know that this is a 'better' way than typing/pasting into the dialog box, but it is an additional option.) 2) Word (at least 2003) will include both Tables & Figures in the same TOF if you choose 'None' from the Caption Label list in the Index and Tables dialog box, then click Options... and check the box for Style (set to Caption). I'd be interested in your results when you have a chance to check this out. Best Regards |:) "Suzanne S.

Yes, wrt (2) I should have said that "by default" the TOF doesn't include
both figures and tables. What I was getting at was that if you base it on a style, you can select only one style. If both figure captions and table titles are in the Caption style, then this will work, but some people want them formatted differently and so would use different styles, which then makes it easier to use a regular TOC. I'm not sure I follow what you said in (1), but it certainly sounds intriguing. -- Suzanne S.

Thanx for the reply.
I guess I didn't consider the separate styles idea since I normally prefer to have the TOF entries formatted alike. If I want the tables & figures captioned differently in the doc I generally change one or the other _after_ generating the TOF... But that's just me. Re (1), that was directed to the OP's point about having already typed the captions she wanted to use. She was selecting the typed text and "Figure 1" was being inserted below the "Figure S.1.1" content she had selected. What I found is that all she needed to do was place the insertion point at the beginning of the typed text she wanted to use as a caption. Then, InsertReferenceCaption as usual, but check the box 'Exclude Label from Caption'. That applies the Caption Style to the existing text. However, it also inserts the sequential number of the table/figure. In other words, checking the box only removes the word Table or Figure, not the number, and you can't delete the number in the dialog box. So in this case she would wind up with 1Figure S.1.1 My only point here is that those numbers can be removed without causing the entries to be omitted when the TOF is generated (because their inclusion is based on the Caption Style formatting, not the numbering). Also, the entries will be in the correct sequence in the TOF because of the order they appear in the doc. Does that make more sense? Regards |:) "Suzanne S.

But in the case you describe, why not just apply the Caption style to the
text via the style menu and skip the whole Insert | Caption dialog? I think the main reason to use Insert | Caption is not generating a TOF or TOT, but being able to get all the numbers and cross-references to update when you add a new table, and being able to create cross-references at all. The OP was already wasting that feature by typing the number, no? And didn't seem interested in cross-references... On 7/13/05 6:37 AM, "CyberTaz" wrote: Thanx for the reply.

Yes, I think so, though I think I'd still be inclined to start more or less
