Key Features
Native Word captions
Review figure captions already created with Word’s caption command.
Hand-typed figure titles
Check possible matches such as “Figure 2. Site plan” before including them in the list.
Individual selection
Leave a figure out of the directory while keeping its caption in the manuscript.
Insertion position
Place the list at a location you choose within the document.
Refreshable page references
Use Word’s field update after editing a title or moving a figure and its caption.
Private DOCX processing
Your document is processed in your browser and downloaded as a new Word file.
Keep figure titles and page numbers in sync
When you move a figure, keep the picture and caption on the same page. The browser shows the source text in document order. Word supplies the final page numbers after it lays out the exported document.
If unnecessary manual breaks push a figure caption onto a separate page, remove page breaks from Word before refreshing the list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I include a figure title that I typed by hand?
Yes. Check the possible typed captions shown in the preview and select the titles you want. A line that mentions a figure in a sentence may need to be left out.
What happens to a caption I leave unchecked?
It stays in your manuscript. The generated list uses the entries you selected and keeps that selection when you refresh it in Word.
How do I refresh the list after editing a caption?
In desktop Word, right-click inside the list, choose Update Field and select Update entire table. This refreshes titles as well as page numbers.
Why does a page number point to the caption instead of the picture?
Word uses the page containing the caption text. When moving an illustration, move its caption with it and update the list after Word has repaginated the document.
Can I use a PDF or a caption inside an image?
Use a DOCX with captions stored as text in the document body. Text printed inside an image or a PDF does not provide a Word caption for this tool to list.
