Instructions
To use the pre-formatted MSWord LIST OF
TABLES/FIGURES/ILLUSTRATIONS/etc.
template:
1. When the document is
opened, select “Save As…” from the “File” menu, and save
the document under a name
that you will remember.
2. Decide what kind of
document the page will be (i.e., Tables or Figures or Charts,
etc.), and delete/add the unnecessary words from the page’s
level 5 heading (i.e.,
the heading in ALL CAPS) and the heading
above the numbers along the left
margin.
3. Using the arrow keys or
the mouse, place the cursor after the number “1”, in front of
the first row of dots.
4. Type in the title of the
first Table/Figure/Illustration/etc.
· Do not use any TABS in your title as this may
interfere with the formatting
already in place.
· When the text comes within ˝-inch of the page
reference numbers, the text will
automatically begin on a new
line.
5. When the entire title has
been entered, use the arrow keys or the mouse (not the TAB
key) to position the cursor
after the second number (i.e., “#”) sign.
6. Press the BACK SPACE key
twice to remove the number signs.
7. Type in the correct page number (i.e.,
page reference number) on which the
respective Table can be found
in the text.
8. Use the arrow keys or the
mouse to position the cursor after the number “2”, in front
of the second row of dots,
and type in the second title. Continue in this fashion (i.e.,
following steps 2 through 7)
until all titles and their corresponding page reference
numbers are entered.
· If you have more than five Tables/Figures/etc.,
finish typing all the information
for the first five. Then,
place the cursor after the page reference number for the
fifth Table/Figure/etc. and
hit RETURN. This should automatically generate a
new line (i.e., number “6”).
Without repositioning the cursor, begin typing in
the next title. When the
title is complete, hit the TAB key. This should
automatically generate the
leading dots. Then, type in the page reference
number corresponding to the
title. If more titles are needed, continue placing
the cursor after the last
page reference numbers and hitting RETURN to
generate new lines.
9. Finally, insert a properly
formatted page number on the page. Remember that an
entry for the LIST as well as
its corresponding page number must be in the TABLE
OF CONTENTS.
