List of Tables / Illustrations?

[affinota]

Hey,

I consider to write my scientific work with publisher instead of libreoffice. The question is:

How can I create and manage list of tables and illustrations?

Yeah, I know, I can just create a table and input a normal index and then check the tables instead of the headings 1 and 2. But then, it lists every entry in the table as 'new table'. So how can I create a table, name it somehow and put this name into the list of tables?

 

And how can I do the same with illustrations?

Thanks!

Cheers

You can create multiple TOCs (Tables of Contents) in your document. If you use unique Paragraph Text Styles for your document Headings, your Table Headings/captions, and your Illustration Headings/captions, then you can control which entries go into which of the 3 TOCs that you will build.

Edit: Note, you will also want to make sure you use separate Names for each TOC, and separate TOC Styles for each.

Thanks.

So do I understand it right? I can just sort by regular headings, but not by illustrations-headings or table-headings?

I need extra paragraph style for document headings, table headings and illustration headings. But where I can control which kind of headings go to which TOC?

 

#Edit: ok, forget it. They will be shown near the other headings if you create them. Thanks!

You need to use different text styles for different kinds of headings.

In the TOC panel you select which Headings you want to include for that specific TOC. So, you might, for example:

1. Create TOC1, with TOC Style TOC1, for your document headings. In that TOC, you would select Heading 1 and Heading 2.
2. Create TOC2, with TOC Style TOC2, for your table headings. After having created Table Heading 1, you could then select just that Heading style for inclusion, in the TOC panel for TOC2.
3. Create TOC3, with TOC Style TOC3, for your illustration headings. After having created Illustration Heading 1, you could then select just that Heading style for inclusion, in the TOC panel for TOC3.
