This video was fantastic - it wasn't too long and it covered exactly what I needed to see for Table of Figures and Table of Tables.

I just learned about the option for a table of figures on another video. But your directions are clearer. I also just learned from you about a table of tables. Thank you. I've been using a Table of Contents in a report and I'm wondering how a table of contents, table of figures, and table of tables can be coordinated in one document. Can you show a video showing all three?

Thanks so much for the tutorial. I have already finish doing my work and i just came across your tutorial video. I have already insert captions manually on my tables and figures,
so how can i get the table and figures of all my List of Tables and Figures without going back to insert captions.

Can you please make a video explaining how to keep the figure number from changing for when there are two figures on the same line

[missvee]

great Video, Now Id like to know, how to correct a figure number if it was added or changed, There must be an easier way than going 1 by 1.

I would like to add a footnote to the text but it won't let me, any ideas ?

When I create a list of tables, my work is all shadowed and cannot be corrected. How do I return it to the beginning so that I can correct my work
