Add captions and numbering in Google Docs & Word.

Add consistent captions to figures and tables

Give the images and tables in a document clear labels before sharing a report or academic draft. Import a Google Docs link or upload a Microsoft Word DOCX to inspect the items available for captioning. Choose which items to include, write the caption text and generate a new Word document with consistent numbering.

Figures and tables use separate sequences, such as Figure 1 and Table 1. You can adjust the label prefixes and include lists of figures and tables. Captions help a reader refer to an illustration without relying on a vague description such as the picture above. The tool does not invent research descriptions or decide which items deserve a caption.

Example captioned document

A report with two photographs and one data table can receive Figure 1 — Field observations, Figure 2 — Sampling location and Table 1 — Summary of results. The optional lists collect the figure and table labels in the same document. Preview the item list and your wording before creating the DOCX, then inspect the downloaded copy for spacing and page breaks.

Static numbering in Word and Google Docs

The labels are static text, not Word field codes, live Google Docs fields or automatic cross-references. Re-run the tool after adding, deleting or moving images and tables that change the sequence. Open the result in Microsoft Word, or upload the downloaded DOCX to Google Drive and open it with Google Docs. The tool writes a separate output file and does not update your original Word file or Google Doc directly.
