You may have encountered the issue of how to add a list of tables in Word, but this does not need to be an impossible task. There are two ways to fix the problem. First, you can change the list element from labels to styles by going to the Style tab. In Figure I, the Style option is turned on, and this changes the list element from labels to styles. Then, you can change the caption text format. The last method will let you generate a list of tables that are linked.
Create a table of contents
To create a table of contents in Word, you can use the ‘Table of Contents’ feature. This tool enables you to place the page numbers next to their associated entry. It can also map styles you use in your table to the levels of the TOC. There are many ways to design your TOC, and you can use all three. In this article, we’ll look at two ways you can customize your TOC.

Once you have decided how to format your table of contents, you need to set the style and font for the headings. By default, Microsoft Word displays page numbers in a horizontal row with a single line in between. However, you can change the font style and size of the headings to match the rest of the document. You can also change the size of the fonts by clicking ‘Customize’. Once you’ve done this, you can save your changes or begin the process all over again.
Insert a table of figures
One way to make it easier for your readers to navigate your document is to insert a Table of Figures. These are lists of pictures, tables, and other figures that your reader can jump directly to. Just like with a table of contents, these tables need captions for each image. With a few key presses, Word can automatically generate a table with figure captions for you. You can also change the font, color, and style of each caption in the reference table dialog.
To add captions to your table of figures, simply right-click on the image and choose the “Caption” option. This will bring up a window for labeling and numbering the image. You can also type the caption text in the label field. Click OK to add captions to the table. When inserting a table of figures, the insertion point is moved to the desired table. Once you have selected the table, click the Insert Table of Figures button to insert captions.
Change the format of caption text
If you want to change the caption text on your list of tables in Word, there are several options available. First, you can change the label on the captions. This will be a helpful feature for the document viewers as it will show the table title, page number, and caption text. Secondly, you can choose to include or exclude page numbers and captions. Finally, you can change the caption text style.
To change the format of the caption text, click the menu icon next to the table that you want to add. Currently, Word defaults to placing captions on tables, figures, and equations. However, you can also add other types of tables or captions to your document. Just make sure to change the caption text format by following these instructions. Once you have changed the format of captions, you can change the caption text style to suit your preferences.
Create a linked table of tables
First, you can create a table of tables by choosing the “From template” option. Then, you can choose to display the table as a Web page or Print Preview. Word will display page numbers aligned to the right. However, you can change this setting by selecting “Use hyperlinks instead of page numbers” to create a clickable table. After choosing this option, click “OK” to return to your document.
To change the table’s page numbers, right click it. Select Format Table. Then, click the button “Update Table Title”. Make sure to capitalize the title. Once you’ve saved the document, you can update page numbers and titles. You can even insert new tables with this option. Microsoft Word will automatically update page numbers when you make changes to your document. This way, you’ll never forget to update the page numbers again.
