If you don’t want the knowledge, but you want a formal document template – here it is. Page number should not be visible on the first page. Pages should be numbered with 1 starting from the actual content. Page numbers should not be visible in the initial pages. You may also have Acknowledgement, Revision History and many other things before the Actual Content starts.
Sometimes the Table of Contents page(s) may also require page numbers – usually roman numbers. Of course, you exact requirements may differ. In fact, a Table of tables uses the same underlying Word technology as Table of Contents (the field).Formal documents are formatted in a specific way. If all this seems familiar, that’s because it’s almost exactly the same as the ‘Table of Contents’ and Table of Figure options. Word will search for the captions, sort them by number, and display the Table of tables in the document. When you are happy with the layout, click “OK” to build your Table of tables. To design a custom Table of tables layout, select “From template” and click the “Modify” button to create your own style. Most people use ‘From template’ because that will match the font etc in the current document or template. Select a format to see how it will look in the preview panes. The “Formats” drop-down list directly affects the appearance of the Table of tables. “Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers” for the web preview gives you a clickable table with links to each table in the Word document. The “Tab leader” dropdown changes what appears between the text and the right-aligned page numbers. By default, page numbers are displayed and aligned to the right, although you can change this by deselecting the appropriate checkboxes. The “Print Preview” and “Web Preview” panes show how the Table will appear. Go to References | Captions | Insert Table of Figures (yes, ‘Figures’) to bring up the “Table of Figures” dialog.įirst thing to do is change the Caption Label from Figures to table. Once you have some tables captioned in the document you can make a reference Table of them.Ĭlick where you want the Table to appear (most likely as an appendix or close to your Table of Contents). Slightly less confused? Good, let’s get on with it. Normally the two are separate and it’s clear from the context which one we’re talking about.įor this article we’ll try to make it clear which ‘table’ we’re talking about by using the term ‘list’ but mostly with a capital letter ‘Table’ for the list and lower case ‘table’ for the grid. Table – a grid of boxes or cells placed in a Word document from Insert | Table. Table – a list of captions etc within a document e.g. Word has two features both called ‘tables’.
Two Tables in Wordīefore we begin, lets try to sort out a linguistic mess. Yes, there is an alternative way making the list from styles but captions works better because each table gets a individual label.
It can be handy to have a list of all the tables used in a document either for publication or just for ‘in-house’ use during writing.īefore you can add a Table of tables to your document, you must add captions to all the tables in your document, as described in Adding Captions in Word. Like a Table of contents, this list or Table of tables can include page references or links to each table.Ī Table of tables can be useful for creating a proper appendix or reference within more formal documentation.
If you have included tables in a document, Word can generate a list of them all for you.
