You can add captions to figures, equations, or other objects. You can also use those captions to create a table of the captioned items for example, a table of figures or a table of equations. 

If the objects in your document are formatted as floating objects, follow the instructions for adding captions to floating objects. 

A table off figures includes a list of all of the figures, tables or equations in the document if you insert a new caption, click the update table automatically update the table. 

Here’s how to insert a caption in Microsoft Word:

   • Click OK to insert the caption.

Index Group:- 

Mark entry:- 

If you’re working on a lengthy document or a book, you’ll want to create an index for it. An index will help readers locate specific portions of your document or book easily. 

To create your index, you must first mark the index entries. You can mark individual words and phrases.  You can also mark a block of text that spans a range of pages. 

After you mark your index entries, you can select a design for your index and insert the index in your document. Word will create the index, gathering the entries you marked. It will also insert the page numbers and remove any duplicate entries that appear on the same page.

Marking index entries is a crucial step in creating a comprehensive index for your document. It involves identifying the key terms and phrases that you want to include in the index and assigning them to specific page numbers.

Here’s how to mark index entries in Microsoft Word:

1. Select the Text: Highlight the text you want to use as an index entry.
2. Go to the “References” Tab: Click on the “References” tab.
3. Click “Mark Entry”: This will open the “Mark Index Entry” dialog box.
4. Customize the Entry:
   • Main Entry: This is the primary term or phrase you want to index.
   • Subentry: You can add subentries to further categorize the main entry.
   • Cross-Reference: You can create a cross-reference to another index entry.
   • Page Number Format: Choose how you want the page numbers to appear (e.g., bold, italic).
5. Click “Mark” to confirm the entry.

Table of authorities Group:- 

Mark citation:- 

All this clicking and decision-making results in a very long, complicated code that’s embedded next to each authority. If you turn on Show/Hide (by clicking the button that looks like a paragraph symbol ¶ in the Paragraph section of the Home tab), you can see this hidden text: 

Between the two curly brackets {} are codes that tell Word what table this is marked for (TA = Table of Authorities), what the long citation is (\l), what the short citation is (\s), and what category to place the authority in (\c 1 = “cases”). There are other codes (technically, “switches“) available, but that’s an advanced topic. 

Update the table of authorities to include all of the citations in the document. 

Here’s how to mark a citation in Word:

1. Place your cursor at the end of the sentence or phrase you want to cite.
2. Go to the References
3. Click Insert Citation.
4. Choose one of the following options:
   • Add New Source: If you haven’t added the source yet, click Add New Source and fill in the required information (author, title, publication date, etc.).
   • Select an Existing Source: If you’ve already added the source, select it from the list of existing sources.
