Hi,

is there a way to automatically align table of figures in word. It he first part of the picture is inserted table of figures, but i would like to get an alignment show in second part. I have 100+ figures and would not like to copy them manually in a 3 column table.

I do not believe so. AFAIK the page number trails the content of what is pointed to. In other words, you can not break the string.

very very very very very very very very very very very very very very [break] page #
very very very loooooooooooong picture name

is not possible....I am pretty sure. ALL of the text is inserted, THEN the page number. I certainly would be interested if someone else knows how to split the content. It would probably be best to simply rename the long file to something more practical. I am no fan of hugely long names.

See the attachments. Check out the paragraph alignment and tab settings for the 'Table of Figures' Style. The second one does the same for the Table of Contents.

That is great, but did you manually insert tab between 'Figure 1:' and picture name?

For the caption, yes, but that's not necessary for the Table of Figures to work. I made the tab in the Table of Figures is part of the Style definition. Ideally, you'd change the caption Style too, to have an appropriately-positioned tab-stop to go with it. That tab is only needed to make both the Figures and the Table of Figures look professional, with a consistent space between the Caption & title in the Figures and for the wrapping alignment in the Table of Figures.

Wow Paul, learn something every day.

Hey. I also have troubles creating table of figures and align left and right. If I open file from macropod (figures.docx) I can see the alignment, but if I create new document and do this steps, it is not working well. I have the same result as jazz43 show in his picture (the number aligment on right is the same as text, even if I set right indent and right tab.... like it is in macropod document.
I use office 2013.

I also have question how if can I use/create 2 differet table of figure styles (one for tables and other for figures). I'd like to create different indents for eah of this TOF/TOT (table of figures/table of tabels)

Without seeing your document, I cannot comment on what the TOC issue might be. Can you attach a document to a post with some representative data, including Headings and the TOC (delete anything sensitive)? You do this via the paperclip symbol on the 'Go Advanced' tab at the bottom of this screen.

As for the Table of Figures (TOF), that uses a Table of Figures Style, so it's quite independent of the TOC Styles. If you use two such tables, though, they can't have different Table of Figures Styles. What you could do instead is to assign ordinary Heading Styles that aren't otherwise used to either the tables or the Figures, then use a TOC that references only those heading levels. The TOC Styles for those levels can then be formatted differently.

This is my test file.

Now I have another question. How to create header (and footer) for section, where page orientation is landscape. I try something, but I dont know if this is the best solution (adding text box). Is there any better idea?

Your Table of Contents lacks the right-indent and the left hanging indent that the sample I posted uses. Try changing the paragraph format so that it has those features.

I note also that your table of contents has been inserted via References>Table of Contents. That is evident from the building block container. Do note that Tables of Contents inserted that way can create significant performance issues. For that reason, it's better to insert one via Insert|Quick Parts|Field>TOC, or by creating one from the keyboard by pressing Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces, typing TOC between them, then pressing F9 to update.

@macropod
Thanks for advice about TOC.
On table of figures I had set left and right indent (I didn't set on TOC, because I try just on figures and tables). You can see from pictures, how did I set TOF Style.
I did open my file with different program and there I can see, that left and right indent are set and it lokk like yours, and they are alihn. But there have problems with page numbering.

Is your Office installation fully updated? The tab alignment problem in your document was a Word 2013 bug that was fixed in the updates issued in June last year. The June Cumulative Update for Word 2013 was: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817342

Thanks. With this update. Now it works fine.

Hey. Have another question. How can I update my level 3 TOC. What I like is that the text of TOC in itallic, but the number at the end is normal, not itallic!
t fird I did manually this, but when I refresh TOC it come to default for that value.

like this:
1 MY CHAPETER 1
1.1 My chapter 2
1.1.1 My chapter 3 itallic text................2

Have you tried changing the page number format, then, while it's still selected, updating the TOC 3 Style to match the selection?
