In the Print output, the Table of Figures list is created from the settings in the Table of Figures object and the settings on the File object's Print tab.

  1. The label on the File object and the Figure label on the Table of Figures object must match, whether you use Figure, Table, or Equation.

  2. The text in the File object caption is used to name the image in the published output; the label and caption are used in the Table of Figures list.

Important: In the published output, the label text displayed against an image file uses the Caption style.

  • For a Table of Equations, change the label names in both objects to Equation.
  • For a Table of Tables, create the table in the topic, then add a File object directly above or below the table (the File object contains the table caption), and change the label names in both objects to Table.
