I'm trying to set up my two lists so that the figure number appears in
front
of the figure title (same with tables). I can't find a user variable for
figure number or table number. Am I missing something? Can I create one
myself?
Molly,
Here's how I do it.
1. For my figure title paragraph format, in the Paragraph Designer, on the
Numbering tab, I checked the Autonumber Format checkbox to turn on
autonumbering.
2. In the Autonumber Format box, I put "F:Fig. <n+>. " This causes "Fig. 1.
" to appear before the first figure title, and to increment with each
additional figure. The letter and colon (in this case, "F:") is the "flow."
It sets this numbering scheme separate from any others you may have set up.
It could be any letter. I picked F: for figures. You might want to use T: to
have your separate numbering scheme for tables in your table title format.
You can also choose a character format in the Numbering tab to make "Fig. 1.
" bold.
Personally, I think it's so much easier to number all figures, tables, etc.
with one scheme. It makes it so much easier for the reader to find them.
Will the reader find Table 4 before or after Fig. 38? If it's called Fig.
39, instead of Table 4, the answer is clear.
