TOC/List of Figures
I am working with a document created by someone else
(usually a challenge) Figures will be placed on the page following their first mention. The originator has created a link, from where "Figure X" is mentioned in the document to a list of figures end of the document. The TOC/List of figures, List the figures and the page number of the list at the back of the document. How can I get it to display the page where they are mentioned instead? |

TOC/List of Figures
Hi SharonJo
I think we'll need some more information here. 1. What version of Word are you using? 2. How were the figure numbers created? 3. How was the list at the back of the document created? 4. Do you really want the Table of Figures to give the page number where the figure was *mentioned*? Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "SharonJo" wrote in message ...

TOC/List of Figures
Sorry.
1. Word 2003 2. The Figures are not part of the document--they will be inserted when the report is reproduced(following the page that they are first mentioned). 3. The list of figures-which will not be part of the printed report-is simply a list I am not certain how they make it shou up on the Table of Figures. Must be a caption? 4. Yes, see 2. -----Original Message----- Hi SharonJo I think we'll need some more information here. 1. What version of Word are you using? 2. How were the figure numbers created? 3.

TOC/List of Figures
Hi SharonJo
Let me see if I've understood this question correctly. The text in the document says things like "here is Figure 1, which is a picture of a house" and "here is Figure 2, which is a graph". Neither the picture nor the graph actually exists in the document. So there is no caption to the picture or the graph. The only thing that exists is the ordinary text in which someone has typed "1" and typed "2". Those numbers were not generated automatically in any way by Word. Is that correct? If that's so, then I don't know any way to create a Table of Figures that will show page numbers automatically. The usual way to do these things is to do three steps: 1. Create the caption for the picture or graph using Insert Reference Caption and in the label box choosing Figure. 2. Create a reference in the text, where you want to say "see Figure 1", by using Insert Reference Cross Reference and referring to the figure. 3. Create the Table of Figures using Insert Reference Index and Tables Table of Figures tab. Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "SharonJo" wrote in message ...

TOC/List of Figures
The "link", from where Figure X is mentioned in the document to the list
of figures at the end of the document, is probably a bookmark. Go to the List of Figures and toggle Field Code Display to "on" with Alt+F9. Do you see something like: { REF Name \h } { PAGE } where "Name" is something like "Figure X" or some other pseudonym for the figure referenced in the text? If so, replace the { PAGE } field with { PAGEREF Name \h }, press Alt+F9 again to toggle Field Code Display to "off", and you will get the page number where the figure is cited. HTH.
