Inserting Figures

To insert a figure, go to Insert Picture/From File, locate and select a picture, and choose the method of insertion. Please turn off any Float Over Text feature; figures should always be in line with text.

After the figure has been placed, it needs a Figure number and a Caption:

· Hit return once, and go to Insert Caption.

· When in the Chapter sections (as opposed to the Appendix sections), choose the first entry for Figure from the list. It should be numbered automatically to include the chapter number and sequence number. (If it is not, click on the Numbering button, and click Include Chapter Number.)

· Click OK, then enter a soft return (shift + enter), and type the Caption.
Captions should be in Title Case (first letter capitalized except for prepositions).

· Do not modify Figure numbering to include additional characters such as Figure 2-1a, or Figure 2-1(a), as the List of Figures will not work properly.
