Hi I took the advice of another BB and created a quick style called ToT (for Table of Tables) and followed the advice above except that I used the modify button to point to the new style. I had already applied the style to all the Table captions and it worked perfectly.

I found it lot easier to just retype the numbers after the list of tables was created. The list did not list all the tables although I numbered the tables using the reference tab. The numbering did not come out well. It gave an error. Click on home tab etc etc. I just typed in the table number. The list of tables showed only 2 tables. I just copied, pasted and rewrote the table numbers and captions in the list of tables. That was lot easier than trying to figure out the technology. I am not sure what impact this handiwork method will have on the saved documents. Any comments?

How do you make a List of Figures with captions like Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, and Figure 1.3 and Figure 2.1 and Figure 2.2 and so on

Hi
I, like Lizzie, can’t get through with table labeling 1.1, 2.1, 2.3 etc

Lizzie, thanks for the question. You can always define a new numbering style and assigned it to a new list. Word 2010: on HOME tab, in the PARAGRAPH group, click the downward arrow next to the ORDERED LIST tool icon and select DEFINE NEW NUMBERING FORMAT. You can go pretty specific in defining a new numbering style. For example, in the DEFINE NEW NUMBER FORMAT dialog box you can add the word “Table” before each number so that the list reads “Table 1″, “Table 2″ etc. Would that help? Ugur

Hi,

I had a document with table 2.1, table 2.2, etc and the automatic list seems to only accept one number – is there any way of creating lists like that? It’s a PhD thesis so the numbering has to be in a specific style.

Thanks
