Updating Figures and Tables  (Microsoft Word)

In-text figure citations are always formatted as you insert them. By default, they appear directly after the paragraph in which they are cited. However, you can direct the output style to format tables and figures in lists at the end of the document.

If you move or delete a figure citation in your paper, you must manually generate the figure list to update the figure citation numbering and placement.

From Word’s Tools menu, select the EndNote submenu and select Generate Figure List.

From the EndNote tab, select Update Citations and Bibliography.

EndNote will number each figure and table citation sequentially in the Word document, as shown in this example:

This family tree is not a chronological progression. Rather, it illustrates how evolution incorporates traits that evolved for unrelated reasons into a novel structure. (Table 1)

Marella is a small "arthropod" somewhat reminiscent of a trilobite. This illustration also shows the dark "blob" produced by body contents which were squeezed out of the animal after burial. (Figure 1)

As researchers look at evidence, even the crest on the modern Cockatiel provides insight into the evolution of feathers. (Figure 2)

EndNote also inserts and displays the actual figures (graphics, figures, tables, charts, equations, or files) and labels them with figure or table numbers (to match each in-text reference) and Caption text from the Caption field in the EndNote reference.

If your figures are listed at the end of the document:
