If you have captioned your figures, tables, and equations using Word’s captioning feature (see the Captions tab in the left-side navigation of this Guide), you can have Word generate your lists for you automatically.
- Place your cursor where you want your list to be.
- In the References tab, click the Insert Table of Figures button (use this for lists of tables or equations, too).
- In the window that appears, select the label for which you want to make a list from the Caption Label menu (such as “Equation”, “Figure”, or “Table”).
- If you want to change the style of your table of contents (e.g. change the font, or you want more space between each item in the list), click on the Modify button, select the Table of Figures style, then click the Modify button to do so. Click OK when you are done.
- Click OK to insert your table of contents.
Repeat these steps to insert other lists into your document (Rackham requires separate lists for tables, figures, and any other label you’ve used). A List of Appendices is handled differently – see the Appendices section of this Guide for more information.
