For example, if you have inserted captions for all images in a document, you
can create a table of these images. It includes page numbers, so that the reader
can see at a glance on which page each image is located.
Note: Text entered directly behind a caption also appears in the table of figures.
For example, if you have extended the caption “Figure 1” to “Figure 1: The
Larch”, this entire text will be displayed in the table.

Inserting captions for images and other objects
FreeOffice: This feature is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.
Use the Insert > Caption command to insert an automatically numbered caption
into the text.
For example, if you want to label the images in a document, simply select the
image of interest and invoke this command. TextMaker will insert a caption below
the picture. It consists of a label and a sequential number – e.g. “Figure 1”.
The numbering is performed fully automatically: If you add additional captions or
remove existing ones, all other numbers are adapted accordingly.
To add a caption to a picture, proceed as follows:
1. Select the picture that you want to add a caption to by clicking on it.
Alternatively, place the text cursor at the position where you want to insert the
caption. For example, insert a blank line below the picture and place the text
cursor there.
2. Invoke the Insert > Caption command.
3. In the Labels list, select the label that you want to be displayed in the caption –
e.g. “Figure”.
4. Make any additional required settings for the caption (see “Options” below).
5. Click on the Insert button.
TextMaker will now insert the selected label, followed by a sequential number –
for example “Figure 1”.
