Hi Erin! it´s the best video to explain this functions. Thank you so much! I have a question: is it possible to divide names of tables in this list of tables for the levels (1, 2) like we can get (header 1, header 2...) in Table of Content?

That is an excellent question! Since all tables within a document are generally considered to be "equal," I'm not aware of a way to automatically divide them within the list of tables according to levels.

Thank you for watching! I just ran a test on my own software (Word 365 on Windows 10) with a two-line label. When I created the list of tables, Word automatically made it one line in the list. Hopefully it will do the same for you? If not, Word will normally let you manually edit list entries without breaking the list functionality. I wish you all the best with your document!

Thank you so much for sharing this! It's very helpful. I have some additional requests for you. For some of my figures, the captions are pretty long. How can I change the list of figures settings, so that there will only be the labels and numbers *without* the full text of the caption? Thanks again!

@erinwrightwriting

6 ай бұрын

Great question! The trick is to insert a Style Separator after the number within each caption (in the text, not the list). Insert your cursor after the number and then press Enter to create a regular paragraph break. Press your back arrow (not Backspace) to move your cursor back to “Figure #.” And then, press Ctrl + Alt + Enter to insert the Style Separator. The lines should go back together. Finally, update your List of Figures as you normally would. I wish you all the best with your Word project!

Thanks so much for your videos Erin. They are so easy to follow and crystal clear. I have been using your instructions to add captions to the tables and figures in my thesis. I had a query though - I neglected to add a caption to a figure in one of my chapters. How do I add a caption with a specific number? When I try to add a caption, it comes up with an automatic number that is not correct for that figure.

@erinwrightwriting

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for watching! You can usually fix an incorrect figure number by selecting just the number, right-clicking, and then selecting Update Field from the shortcut menu. This should bring it in order with the figure above, and then correct the numbering for the figures below. One caveat: this will affect all the numbers in the document or section, so you may want to try it on a copy of your file rather than the original--just in case! :)

How can I create a list of tables that will allow me to identify chapters (as in to identify in my list of tables that Chapter 1 has tables 1-4, chapter 2 has tables 6 and 7 and so on) and the actual title text of the table? As I have used APA 6, the table titles are on the next line. Can I manually edit the list of tables created in word or would it be better to create the list of tables manually?

I wish you all the best with your Word document!
