Creating a Table of Figures
By marking figures and drawings in your document using figure marks, you can use PageStream to automatically create a table of figures for your document. The typical content of a table of figures starts with a title, then an alphabetic list of figure types with their figures sorted by location in the document. Each figure mark in a figure type category is numbered sequentially from the start of the document to the end.
To add a figure type: Choose ''Figure Types'' from the ''Define'' submenu in the ''Edit'' menu to display the ''Define Figure Type'' dialog box. Click ''New''. The ''Edit Figure Type'' dialog box will appear. Enter the new figure type into the ''Type'' text box. Click ''OK''. Click ''Done'' to close the ''Define Figure Type'' dialog box. Note: The ''Define Figure Type'' dialog box can also be opened when inserting figure marks into the text.
