How to create a table of figures in Microsoft Word?

To create a table of figures in Microsoft Word, follow these steps:

  1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the table of figures (usually at the beginning or end of your document).
  2. Click on the "References" tab in the ribbon at the top of the Word window.
  3. In the "Captions" group, click on the "Insert Table of Figures" button.
  4. In the "Table of Figures" dialog box, you can customize the appearance and content of the table. Here are some options you can configure:
    • Choose a specific label to include (such as "Figure" or "Table") or include all labels.
    • Specify which styles of captions to include (such as "Heading 1" or "Caption").
    • Select the format of page numbers.
    • Choose the number of levels to include (if you have nested captions, such as "Figure 1.1" and "Figure 1.2").
  5. After making your desired selections, click "OK" to insert the table of figures into your document.

Word will automatically generate the table of figures based on the captions and labels present in your document. If you later add or remove figures or tables, you can update the table of figures by right-clicking on it and selecting "Update Field".
