Table captions cannot be added through the Reference function. You will need to manually number them as you go.

Creating tables of contents and figures

If you have been told by your Acas contact that your report will only be published as HTML, you don't need to add tables of contents, or lists of figures or tables.

Table of contents

to create a table of contents, go to References – Table of Contents – Automatic Table 1

you will then need to format the header label 'Contents' as Heading 2

you can update the table of contents by right-clicking anywhere on the table and selecting 'Update field'

List of figures

to create a list of figures, go to References – Insert Table of Figures. In the 'style' dropdown, select 'Caption-figure'

above the list, add a header 'List of figures' formatted as Heading 2

you can update the list by right-clicking anywhere on the list and selecting 'Update field'

List of tables

to create a list of tables, go to References – Insert Table of Figures – Options. In the 'style' dropdown, select 'Caption-table'

when prompted 'do you want to replace the selected table of figures?' click No (selecting Yes will replace the list of figures instead of creating a new list of tables)

above the list, add a header 'List of tables' formatted as Heading 2

you can update the list by right-clicking anywhere on the list and selecting 'Update field'
