How to Put Figure Numbers in Google Docs | Step-by-step Tutorial

[@stevehartley8716]

Google still has a long way before many firms will consider switching platforms. Small things like this really do make the difference and is why Microsoft products are still preferred by many.

Hello, I love the tutorial, I have one problem though, if I clicked the "update lists" only the figure and the table is appearing, the equations I referenced are not in the list, what could be the problem?

[@EliseEnova]

Hi, you should edit the list settings and select the "equations" options so it can be included in the list.

[@bumpkin9276]

thank you so much for your tutorial, but my lists is taking forever to be configured. Help me!

[@elise_enova]

Hi. Thank you so much for reaching out. May I ask, how long is your documents and approximately how many figures? I think it's a Google Docs or app problem if your document is 60 pages ++ it really is hard for the app to generate lists. However, sometimes, you just need to ensure that the google chrome profile and your google docs account that you are using is the same, and then try to close the other windows to help Chrome process the lists. Let me know if this works!

[@bumpkin9276]

@@elise_enova hi! Thank your for replying and I really appreciate your suggestions. Actually, I just did some practice after watching your tutorial and there was just 2 tables and 2 figures, but my document was more than 30 pages long. I tried to close unnecessary tabs and even restart my laptop but it just didn't work. It was so hopeless and I just ended up do the list of figures manually.

Hello, it works for me to add a link for figures, but then in the end it doesn't create the table... Can you help me ?

[@EliseEnova]

Hi, you should edit the list settings and select the "tables" options so it can be included in the list.

thank you, my thesis is due in 6 hours hahaha

[@sehrmehra8390]

Hey when I update the references the figur tags get updated correctly but the fig ones don’t. I also get an error sometimes TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'getParagraphs'). Can you please help me fix this! Need to submit a paper soon. Thank you!

[@Vincent-eb4tu]

just select H6 format, add numbering, add Prefix = "Figure " and Suffix " : " it took me some time to find it out but really easy and no external plugin (security threat)

[@mrnerdy3501]

That does not do cross-referencing, such as when you reference that figure in the text, and then move the figure around.

[@Aminmubarok-ol5qn]

thanks dude

[@Vincent-eb4tu]

there is an easier way instead of adding a plugin you can just format the "Figure" as Heading 6 and numbering, add a Prefix = "Figure " (use the space) and Suffix = " : ", it will result as "Figure 1 : " you can just add your text after; Copy paste this for the next figure you get autonumbering "Figure 2 : "

[@mrnerdy3501]

[@zeeshanahmad9577]

How did you add the caption to the figure in google docs?

[@regeneration9326]

Thank you so much T-T

[@jedidiahithiel6998]

what if i want the word Fig to appear, instead of F igure?

[@elise_enova]

Hi! Do you want the "Fig" to appear in your text or in the caption itself?

[@yinyang584]

i have a problem. i made a hyperlink and reference for the figures but when i click on configure list, no list of figures and tables is generated

[@cinta-wr8lz]

me too. have you solved this problem yet?

[@daizerxd.6556]

excelente

[@EliseEnova]

I hope this video would be very helpful to you guys! Enjoy :)

[@nikilione9241]

You can also copy paste a table from Google Sheets and adjust the numbering. I guess you can also put it a hyperlink for each cell. Ex. : This is from Google sheets Blank Cell - Where you place the pic Fig. # - Automatic formatting, adjust accordingly Description - Type anything !!! Don't forget to press "Update Table" from Google Docs if you do make changes from Sheets.

[@mariadahbi9911]

for me it doesn't get generated
