Follow these steps:
- With your document open, enter the text for your image caption
- Double-click on the image title you wish to format
- Click the "Apply formatting" icon [¶ pilcrow]
- Click the icon for "Captions" [C]
- Select the caption type you require from the drop list
- Chart, Exhibit, Figure, Media, Table
- Your text will automatically be updated to match your style guide
- Add your image
- Use the cross-reference icon under the "Annotations" menu to update your text with this new image caption
Types of captions
- Chart: for example data represented in a pie or bar chart; or other data representation
- Exhibit: for example photos
- Figure: for example drawings you have created yourself or graphics made by others
- Media: for example, videos, podcasts
- Table: for example, spreadsheets with data
Tips:
- Captions can be added without adding the image if it is not yet available
- Changes to the present style guide wizard can be made while you are writing
- Captions added using the image popup are 'captured' and will not be located against the left margin
- The label for any caption can be customized (e.g., Case study, Example, Interview); however the list currently does not reflect any custom label (this is on our todo list)
