Alt S G F on Mac: Insert Table of Figures in Word

To run Insert Table of Figures with Alt S G F in Word on a Mac, install LightningXL, tap Option, then type S, G, F. The same keys as Windows, with the same result.

Step by step

1. Install LightningXL

   Download LightningXL, then follow the instructions. Setup takes about two minutes.

2. Select what to act on

   Put the cursor where you want it, or select the text or object.

3. Tap Option, then type S G F

   Tap ⌥ on its own to show the key tips, then S for References, G F for Insert Table of Figures.

What Alt S G F does

Insert Table of Figures sits on the References tab of the Word ribbon. On Windows, Alt S G F runs it from the keyboard. Word for Mac has the same ribbon but no Alt key, so without LightningXL you click through References › Insert Table of Figures instead.
