How to Format Tables and Figures - Tutorial

Figures refers to any images that are not a table.

• Tables and figures either appear within the body of your paper or on separate pages after your references page. If on separate pages, tables come before figures. 
• Tables and figures require a table or figure number, title, and a caption.
  • The number (e.g., Table 1 or Figure 1) appears above the table or figure in the left-margin and in bold.
  • The title is one double-space below the table number in italicized font.
  • The caption is descriptive, double-spaced, and appears immediately underneath the table or figure.
  • The caption begins with the word Note. in italics, followed by a description, the source information, and the copyright information at the end. In the Note. use Adapted from if you made changes to the table or figure; use From if you reprinted it exactly as found.
