About

The List of Figures is similar to a Table of Contents, in that it identifies all of the figures and their page numbers. If your thesis/dissertation contains one or more figures, a List of Figures is required. 

We encourage you to use the Insert Table of Figures function in Word to create an automatic List of Tables.

Format

General Formatting

  • Line Spacing: Single-spaced (with single-spaced line added before all new figure listings)
  • Page Number: Lowercase Roman numeral (continued from previous section)
Section Heading Formatting
  • All 1st-order headings must be on a new page flush with the top margin. 
Content Formatting
  • All figure titles must match verbatim (word-for-word) to those used in the body of manuscript. (Include only the first sentence of each figure caption.)
  • All figures are numbered consecutively using a consistent style.
  • Titles should break 0.5" before the right margin to prevent overcrowding of page numbers.
  • The "Figure #" should be against the left margin while the name/title/caption of the figure should be indented either 0.75" or 1". All lines of the caption must be indented the same. See the example above for help.
  • All page numbers associated with figure titles must correspond to the correct location in the body of the manuscript.
  • All page numbers must be right-aligned with the 1" right margin.
  • Figures from the Appendices section are listed using Arabic numbers that are different from those in the body. (i.e.: Figure 1A, Figure 2A, or Figure A1,Figure A2, etc.)
