HOW TO AUTO-GENERATE THE LIST OF TABLES USING MS WORD

Steps

Inserting Captions:

Ø  Click the first Table that you want to insert in the List of tables. In the Document Formatting (From Scratch) Template, I selected-a table titled “TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS FOR THE INVERTERS/USING A 1000W INVERTER”

Ø  From the MS Word Toolbar,>Click On References

Ø  Insert Caption

In the label List, Select>Table

In the Position List, Select>Below selected item

In the Caption box, after typing”: “and leaving a “space”, Type some short Descriptive words in the text box. From the template, I typed “: Temperature Variation for a 1000W Inverter”

Ø  Ok

At this juncture the descriptive words will appear below the referenced table.

Ø  Repeat the same to all tables in your document. (The second Table from the  Document Formatting (From Scratch) Template, was titled “TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS FOR THE INVERTERS/USING A 500W INVERTER” ) and the caption used was “: Temperature Variation for a 500W Inverter”

Inserting the List of Tables:

Ø  After Inserting the Captions, Place your cursor below the area that you want to insert your List of Tables. In the Document Formatting (From Scratch) Template, I placed the cursor just below the descriptive words of the List of tables.

Ø  Click >References

Ø  Insert Table of Figures

Ø  Ok.

At this stage, An auto-generated List of Tables will appear from the point you had placed your cursor.
