The template complies with Cranfield University’s guidelines contained in the Prescribed Form
for the Presentation of Theses. However, please take the advice of your supervisor as to
whether any changes to the generic structure are required for your particular topic or award.
You should also bear in mind the guidance for submitting a paper to Turnitin, available on the
intranet at https://intranet.cranfield.ac.uk/it/Pages/TurnitinStudents.aspx.
If you have any questions about this template and how to use it or about Microsoft Office in
general, please contact the IT Service Desk (see Contacting us overleaf).
You will have to create new, separate labels that look like the ‘Figure’ and ‘Table’ labels you
used in the main body of your thesis.
Tip: Instead of deleting each ‘_Apx’ individually, use Find & Replace to replace all at once.
1. Place the insertion point on a blank row after the existing List of Figures
2. Select the Insert Table of Figures command on the References tab of the Ribbon
3. Set the Caption Label box to ‘Figure_Apx’ and click OK
Note: Word will put a single blank line between the original and new lists preventing it
from appearing as one seamless list. However if you select the blank paragraph
between the tables you can hide it by opening the Font dialog box from the Home tab
(Mac: Command+D) and selecting Hidden.
4. Click after the List of Tables and repeat for the Caption Label ‘Table_Apx’
Updating fields
You can refresh lists of contents, caption numbers and cross-references, also known as fields,
at any time.
