Appendices - Word for Mac 2004
Appendices should be labeled in alphabetical sequence, for example, Appendix A, Appendix B, and so on. Use style Heading 6 for the main heading in appendices and style Headings 7, 8, and 9 for subheadings within appendices.
Table and figure captions within appendices
If you add tables or figures in an appendix, Word uses a continuation of the chapter numbering scheme (5-1, 5-2, etc.) instead of the A-1, A-2, A-3 format that’s required. To correct this, follow the steps below.
The order in which these steps are completed is extremely sensitive. Start with the first figure/table in Appendix A and complete all steps in one operation – don’t stop until you’ve edited all captions, updated the List of Tables and List of Figures, and saved your file.
- Within your appendix, place your cursor at the beginning of the figure or table caption to be revised.
- If the figure or caption number is not contained within a gray box, follow the steps described in Captions for Figures and Tables.
- Press ALT F9 (hold down the ALT key and press F9). You should now see the field codes underlying the number, for example:
|
|
- Replace “1” with “6” for as shown below. (This operation tells Word to apply the style Heading 6, which is configured to use the A, B, C format when numbering figures and tables.)

- Hold down the CTRL key and click on the STYLEREF field. Click Update Field. Repeat this operation for the SEQ Table field.
- Repeat steps 4 through 5 for all figures and tables in all your appendices.
- Finally, press ALT F9 to turn off the field codes.
- After all appendix captions have been edited, update your List of Tables and/or List of Figures. See the Table of Contents, List of Figures, and List of Tables section. [link to page]
