Figure and Table Captions
These use the templates IES Figure Caption and IES Table Caption.
We put figures and captions in text boxes so they can be easily
floated through the document to the best place, which is one of the
four corners of the page.
Captions are made using the caption feature in Word so we can cross-reference
them. When you do this, you can assign the paragraph style after the
caption has been created.
First create the text box and place
the appropriate table or graphic, either by pasting it into the document or
by constructing it with the built-in graphing utility.
Then add the caption:
1) Select the item you want to add a caption to.
2) In the toolbar, go to Insert >> Reference >> Caption.
3) This dialog box will appear:
In the Label list, select the label that best
describes the object, such as a picture or equation. If the list
doesn't provide the correct label, click New Label, type the new
label in the Label box, and then click OK.
4) Select an appropriate position for the caption.
If the graph you want to place in the document is a picture file (.bmp, .gif,
.jpg, etc.), just copy and paste the picture into the text box and resize it
to fit. If you want to create the graph inside Word, however, here is how you
do it: Go to
Insert >> Object >> Microsoft Graph Chart
Two windows will pop up, one with a sample chart in it, and one
containing a spreadsheet with sample data. Once you've entered your data
into the provided spreadsheet, you can change the look of the chart.
Right-click the chart and click on "Chart Type." A dialog box will
pop up.
Pick the form that you want your data to take on. Click OK.
Right-click again and select "Chart Options." Click through the tabs and
change the attributes to make the graphic look like you want it to.
If the graph is not automatically placed in the text box, move it
there either by cutting and pasting it or by dragging it into the text
box.
