Table of figures, how to ?

[VL]

Hi,

I'm currently writing my thesis and have to insert figures in word. I insert
the figures from file (ex PDF), add a caption but then cannot create the
table of figures. I get the error message "no entry" ???? What am I suppose
to do???

I use word:mac, don't know which version exactly
I have a PowerPC G4, running on Mac OS X 10.4.11

You should use Insert | Caption to create the captions and numbering.
Then Insert | Index and Tables | Table of Figures will see the captions
automatically.

How do you total numbers in a column in a Word table? I highlight the column -- leaving the last cell blank -- and use "Sum" and "0.00" as the format, and hit "enter" and get "incorrect syntax."

Help!

Hi Lee -

There are several methods of getting the sum function inserted so I'm not
sure which you're trying to use. If you're using the Table> Formula or the
AutoSum button (on the Tables & Borders toolbar) method it's almost
automatic - you wind up with a calculation field, so I'm guessing that
you're going the long way around & using Insert> Field or that you're trying
to type the field manually.

From what you describe it sounds like you're not supplying the required
argument that tells the formula what to sum (where the values are). The
completed formula should read as =Sum(Above) if you're summing cells in a
column directly above the cell containing the formula. If the cells to be
summed are to the left of the formula it would be =SUM(LEFT), or you can
actually identify the cells as you would in Excel such as =SUM(C1:C5), but
the complete formula must be used.

In the future, please don't tack your question onto an existing thread as a
Reply to one of the messages in it. Your issue is not even related to the
thread you replied in, so it should have been posted as a New Message -
including a full description of the problem as well as complete version
information. It not only makes it more likely for others to reply but also
makes it clearer & easier for you to follow the responses.
