Captions for images, including sub-captions
Good morning,
I’m using Office 365 (Office 2019 at home). I wanted to ask if it’s possible in Word to create captions for images, including sub-captions, with all the corresponding indexes reflecting the hierarchy. I mean something similar to the photo below.

Yes, you can do this in Word. Use the Insert Caption feature for main captions, then create a custom label (e.g., “Figure 1a”) for sub-captions. With custom labels and the Table of Figures, you can reflect the hierarchy in your index.
Unfortunately, Word does not let you create captions such as Figure 1 a), Figure 1 b) etc. You can do it manually, of course, assuming that the total number of captions with a, b, c, etc. isn't too big.
Thank you for explaining this. I think this would be a great improvement for the next versions of Microsoft word!
