I have a document with many figures and tables in it. I want to make a table of figures that will only give me the count for each group found (tables, figures etc.).
I looked this up but did not find any reference on how to do it.
Thank you
Assuming that you are inserting captions for your figures, tables etc., using the standard facilities in Word, then one way to do this would be to add a { TC } field for each group at the end of the document, and insert a TOC field to build a TOC from those fields. e.g.
{ TOC \f fc }
{ TC "Number of figures: { SEQ Figure \c }" \f fc \n }
{ TC "Number of tables: { SEQ Table \c }" \f fc \n }
and so on.
(All the {} have to be the special field code braces that you can insert using ctrl-F9 on Windows Word. You will also need to select and update the TC fields before updating the TOC field.)
