Create list of figures in OpenOffice - how it works

With OpenOffice, mapping directories can be created with a specially created wizard. We'll show you how.

OpenOffice: Create list of figures

In this guide, we assume that the images are already inserted in OpenOffice.

1. Right-click on the image and select the "Label" option.
2. Enter the desired "label text" here. This serves as a picture description in the list of figures.
3. Then click on the "OK" button and repeat these steps for all other images. Then click with the mouse where the list of figures should appear.
4. Now select the "Directories" under the "Insert" category at the top of the menu bar and then the "Directories" again.
5. A small window opens. Select the "List of figures" as the type (see picture).
6. If you wish, you can make further settings here. You do not have to change anything for a simple list of figures.
7. The directory is inserted using the "OK" button.
