                    Create running captions for figures and tables
                </h1>
<!-- END PAGE TITLE -->
                <div><div class="section"><p>Running captions number figures, tables, and
other items consecutively in a document. For example, the first
figure caption starts with the words “Figure 1,” the second with
“Figure 2,” and so on. To make sure that figures, tables, or similar items
are numbered consecutively, define a list for the item, and then
create a paragraph style that includes the list definition. You
can also add descriptive words such as “Figure” or “Table” to the
numbering scheme of the paragraph style.</p>
</div>
<ol><li class="stepexpand"><span>Create a new paragraph style and, in the Bullets
And Numbering section of the Paragraph Style Options dialog box,
choose Numbers from the List Type menu. </span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Choose a defined list from the List menu (or choose New
List to define a list).</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Under Numbering Style, select the type of numbering you
want to use from the Format menu.</span> <p>For example, select the A, B, C, D... option to create
a list for “Figure A,” “Figure B,” and so on.</p>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Number box, enter a descriptive word and any spacing
or punctuation (as needed) along with the numbering metacharacters. </span> <p>For example, to create a “Figure A” effect, enter the word
“Figure” and a space before the numbering metacharacters (such as <kbd class="userinput">Figure
^#.^t</kbd>). This adds the word “Figure” followed by a sequential
number (^#), a period, and a tab (^t).</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>To include chapter
numbers in running captions, choose Insert Number Placeholder&#160;&gt;
Chapter Number from the Number list, or enter <kbd class="userinput">^H</kbd> where
you want the chapter number to appear in the number scheme.</div>
</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Finish creating the style and click OK. </span></li>
</ol>
<div class="section"><p>After you create the style, apply it to text figure captions
or table titles.</p>
<div class="tip"><img src="images/tip_help.png" />You can use the Table Of
Contents feature to generate a list of tables or figures.</div></div>
