Re: Stupid question, I'm sure...



Instead of creating a regular list of figures, create
an index of markers, and create markers for the
figures, and tag the file suffix as "LOF". That way
the custom LOF will pull the figure titles, but will
be alphabetically sorted like an IX. You can format
the entries and page layout as needed using the Master
and Reference Pages.

Hope this helps...
