Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Customize Table Numbers

[Dutty_Sutty]

I need to customize my table numbers so that, instead of tables 1, 2, 3, and 4, I have tables 1.a., 1.b., 1.c., and 2. How do I go about doing this?

Cheers

The subfloat package is your friend. It provides structures which work quite similar to the »subequations« environment of the amsmath package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage[countmax]{subfloat}

\renewcommand*{\thesubfloattable}{\themaintable.\alph{subfloattable}}

\begin{document}
  \begin{subtables}
    \begin{table}[!ht]
      \caption{First Sub-Table}\label{subtab-1:dummy-1}
      \centering
      \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    \end{table}
    \begin{table}[!ht]
      \caption{Second Sub-Table}\label{subtab-2:dummy-1}
      \centering
      \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    \end{table}
    \begin{table}[!ht]
      \caption{Third Sub-Table}\label{subtab-3:dummy-1}
      \centering
      \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    \end{table}
  \end{subtables}

  \begin{table}[!ht]
    \caption{Second Table}\label{tab:dummy-2}
    \centering
    \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

Definitions for figures happen analog. For details refer to the package manual.
