Creating a Table of Figures

A table of figures automatically lists all inserted figures of your document. It is another document element that eases navigation.

Add a table of figures

1. In your Word template, select References > Insert Table of Figures:
   

   

2. Configure your table
3. Select Figure in the Caption label drop down > OK

Within the Word template it will now display, No table of figures entries found. Don't worry – this is because there aren't yet any content elements which could be listed there. These will be automatically added in the export.
