<p><b>Table of Figures</b> provides an overview of equations, figures and tables added to a document. Similar to a table of contents, a <b>Table of Figures</b> lists, sorts out and arranges captioned objects or text headings that have a certain style applied. This makes it easy to reference them in your document and to navigate between figures. Click the link in the <b>Table of Figures</b> formatted as links and you will be taken directly to the figure or the heading. In the <ahref="https://www.onlyoffice.com/document-editor.aspx"target="_blank"onclick="onhyperlinkclick(this)"><b>Document Editor</b></a>, any table, equation, diagram, drawing, graph, chart, map, photograph or another type of illustration is presented as a figure.
