Thank you very much, a question please: how can I anchor the caption to the figure/table? and anchor all of them in a specific location in the text? thanks in advance

@erinwrightwriting 4 года назад

Thank you for watching my video! That's a great question. There are a couple of ways to anchor the table/title or figure/caption, but I think the easiest way is to use a text box. First, select both the table and title (or figure and caption). Then, select Insert tab > Text Box > Draw Text Box. A text box should appear around your table and title (or figure and caption). Then, select the Layout Options button to the right of the text box and select "Fix position on page." If you don't like the black border around the text box, you can right-click on the border for different outline options. Best of luck!

Thank you very clear. I am actually looking to add a caption without any numbering, can you help with that? JUST the text I want to add to the caption.

@erinwrightwriting 4 месяца назад

That is an interesting question! Unfortunately, there is no way to add captions without numbers from the Caption dialog box. However, if you don't have a lot of tables and figures, you can add captions manually by using the Caption style in the Styles group in the Home tab. However, the Caption style won't appear in the Styles group until you have added a caption using the normal method. You can then apply the style to your custom text and delete the caption created using the normal method. I wish you all the best with your Word project!

Good tutorial. I have an issue with the caption numbering. I started inserting captions for tables and figures in my thesis report and they were numbering well. However, at the next day I wanted to continue with the task and the captions suddenly want to start numbering from 1, both for the table and figure label. I tried to check the caption settings (home --> styles) but the option has disappeared, although it was there the day before. I'm using office 365. Please any ideas how to deal with this issue? Thanks

@charlaepp1459 2 года назад

Thank you Erin for your instructive videos. I am looking for some help on how to change the Figures field (The list of figures after my contents page in my Thesis). The figures in my paper are 2 lines long, with all kinds of data. I would like the Figures field to only have the heading for the figure, and not all the data associated with it. Right now, when I update my field of figures, It has fare to much distracting information and not user friendly. I hope that makes sense. Thanks.

@erinwrightwriting 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! You can manually delete information from the entries in the list of figure without breaking it. However, because your figure captions are two lines long, you can also place a paragraph break (Enter key) at the location in each caption (not in the list of figures) where you want the caption to end in the list of figures. For example: Figure 1. Figure Title [paragraph break] All the extra data. After the breaks are inserted, you can then update the list of figures. Everything after the breaks should be removed from the list. Since this is your thesis, I highly encourage you to try this on a copy, not on the original--just in case! Good luck!

@raekell Год назад

is there a way to cross-reference these, such as in a paragraph :refer to figure 1" and have it be related to the automatic numbering system?

Excellent question! Yes, you can cross reference figures and tables. I have a separate tutorial on that topic, which you may find helpful: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0gFt18TL7as.html.

Any advice?

Hi Erin, I am having trouble with updating my reference list for the figures. Every time I update it, it lists the figures multiple times so I have figure 6: name1, figure 7: name 1, figure 8: name1, until I have 26 pages of a list of figures duplicating. What did I do wrong?

@erinwrightwriting 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! I have never encountered the problem you describe; so, unfortunately, I don't have a precise answer. If it were me, I would create a copy of the file, delete the 26-page list (in the new copy), and then start over with one new list of figures. If the new list updates correctly, it may show that there was a corruption in your original list. Best of luck!

Hello Erin and thanks for the video. How would you apply the APA 7th edition table format with caption? I have seen all your videos, but because table titles in APA 7 goes one line (double-spaced) below the table name, I am not sure how to apply that style to the caption. Any tips?

@erinwrightwriting 4 года назад

Thank you for watching my video. As of right now, I think the easiest way to achieve the APA's table title format is to place your cursor after the table number and manually insert a line break (Enter key) to move the title to the next line. However, I will let you know if I stumble upon a better solution because inserting the line break means that the title will no longer show up in the automated list of figures.

@@erinwrightwriting The solution is to use a soft line break (Shift+Enter key). That way it will be on the line below the Table and it will still show in the List of Tables or List of Figures.

@@praveshalva2769 Thank you for the clarification. Word doesn't offer a way to add captions all at once. They always have to be added manually. Perhaps Microsoft will add a mass captioning feature in the future!

How do I get rid of the coding?: Figure{SEQ Figure\*ARABIC}/ in my captions

@erinwrightwriting 3 месяца назад

Excellent question! To switch from the coding back to your text, right-click the coding and then select Toggle Field Codes from the shortcut menu. Thank you for watching!

Good as far as it went, but she did not include the most important step - grouping the picture with the caption so they move together.

how to change the caption position from top to bottom?

@erinwrightwriting 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! In the Caption dialog box (shown at about 1:38 in the video), you can select "Above selected item" or "Below the selected item" from the Position menu. Best of luck!

Does anyone else not have the option to add a caption to the image? On my screen there is no option to add caption

@erinwrightwriting 2 года назад

Thank you for watching! I am sorry to hear that your caption option is missing. Which version of Word are you using?

@Jaydzzy 3 года назад

what if i am not seeing any of these options

@erinwrightwriting 3 года назад

Thank you for watching my video. I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble seeing the options. If you don't mind my asking, which version of Word are you using?

I watched this video to work out why my figure numbering doesn't apply to a certain image. It refuses to be numbered sequentially.

@erinwrightwriting 4 года назад

Hi, Chris. Thank you for watching my video. I haven't experienced images refusing to be numbered sequentially; however, I found this link on the Microsoft Community forum that might help you: answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2007-word/automatic-label-numbers-for-figures-are-coming-out/3f5e6f11-84f6-42b0-9b36-b3d99c1c00da Best of luck!

How can I change the label from 'Figure 1'. to '1. Figure'? That's how in my mother tongue use captioning...

@erinwrightwriting Год назад

Hello, Nagy. Thank you for watching! I have been trying to come up with a workable solution to your question all afternoon, but unfortunately I haven't found an answer yet. I will be sure to let you know if I figure it out. In the meanwhile, you may want to pose your question to the Microsoft Tech Community: techcommunity.microsoft.com/. I wish you all the best!

"No table of figures entries found. " when I try make list of table or figure!

@erinwrightwriting 2 года назад

I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble. Usually when that error pops up, it's because the incorrect option is selected in the Caption Label menu in the Table of Figures dialog box. Best of luck!
