I had a question from a student about this, and had to go away and research it and email her the answer. Since it seems a shame to waste information…<\/p>\n

To add captions, refer to figures, and create a table of figures<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Select your figure, then go to the “References” menu and click “Insert caption”. It defaults to “Figure 1” but you can name it however you like.<\/li>\n
  2. When you want to refer to it in-text, click on “Cross-reference”. Choose reference type “figure”, make sure “Insert as hyperlink” is ticked, and select the figure you want to refer to, then click “Insert”.<\/li>\n
  3. Find the place you want to insert the table of figures and click “Insert Table of Figures”. You can configure this however you want it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Now if you control-click on any of the cross-references or items in the table of figures, it’ll take you to the intended figure.<\/p>\n

    Note however that if you add a new figure early in the document, Word doesn’t update the table or the cross-references automatically. You can do this manually by: <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. selecting the table of figures and then clicking “Update Table” and <\/li>\n
    2. right-clicking each cross-reference and selecting “Update Field”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      A quicker way to fix it for an entire document at once is: <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Select All<\/li>\n
      2. Right-click and “Toggle Field Codes”<\/li>\n
      3. Right-click and “Update Field”<\/li>\n
      4. Right-click and “Update Field” a second time – this time choose “Update entire table”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If there’s a more sensible way, I wasn’t able to discover it in my tinkering….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
