hello guys in this video i am going to show you how to insert
a list of figures in microsoft word document let me open uh this microsoft word document
and i have insulted some dummy text into it with some figures so that i can show you how this would
be done first let me show you how would you insert a figure into your document for example i want to
have a figure over here before inserting a figure you must go to insert table and insert one into
one table over here the reason for insulting the table is that if you are going to copy
your figure then the figure legend would also be copied with it now again go to home insert
pictures from this device and let me insert some dummy figures for example i want this figure
to be here now the figure has been inserted one thing that you must make sure is that your figure
must always be in line with the text you must not play with any other positioning of the figure
now what you need to do you can go over here click over the figure and you have a lot of
options but the one that we are interested in is insult caption here you can see this says
figure one actually this is not figure one but anyway i am going to write something with it
let me insert it over here now figure one this is a dummy car similarly i have some other figures
above this figure let me insert captions for them to insert caption again here you can see
figure one this is just a dummy figure let me do the same for this figure as well
click ok now you can see figure 2 this is another figure this figure was previously figure 2
and it has automatically changed to figure 3. even if you copy this figure let me show
you for example i am going to copy this figure from here let me copy it copy this is figure 3
and i'm going to insert it somewhere else for example i'm going to install it over here
and if you see closely you would see that it is still listed as figure 3 but if you hover over it
you see it is a little grayed right click update the field low and behold it got changed to 4
let me do this captioning for the rest of the figures in the document
after putting captions for all the figures you can now insert a list of figures
just go to references and here you can see insert table of figures click over it
now you have some options to play with but i won't go into its details because
they are pretty much easy for example you can go to classic distinctive centered
and similarly these are figures you can do with the questions and table as well
and here's some other options you can modify a table of figures for example you want to have a
table of figures for example you can change it to new times roman font must be 12 and similarly you
can play with rest of the things anyway i'm going to click automatically update add to style gallery
click ok okay and i'm going to click ok here you can see a list of figures have been inserted
now for example if you want to go to your document and insert some other figures it
would be automatically updated let me show you for example i want to insert a figure over here
again i'm going to insert a table as i've shown you previously and then i would go to insert
this device and i'm going to pick this figure this time
now figure captioning click over it go to insert caption and write click ok
now this figure 3 is listed over here and now you can come over here and
you can update the field and you must update the entire table click over it and this new
figure has been included in the list of figures and it has been given the right
number according to the figures above it i hope you have understood this video thanks for watching
