Thanks Richard, I started the LOF with the <$paranum> and then started looking for alternatives that started this chain of communications. (Very educational-BTW) I have gone back to where I started from with the numbered figures. I actually do cross reference by them all through the book. Thanks

Thanks Richard, This is great information, I think the task would be daunting to create my own index of figures, and I'm not certain of the value. The probable resolution to my issue is to include the "Figure 1-12" in the LOF as opposed to just the text of the caption. This would help the reader
