Changing Figure placeholder

Can I change the Figure category name to something else? Let’s say I am editing documents in multiple languages, and each language refers to a figure differently.

Please mention OS name, exact LO version and save format. Do this by reopening your question so that everything is in the same location. Click on under the question then on the “pencil” icon to enter Edit mode. If timeout has elapsed, use a Comment (not a Solution).

I assume you’re trying to caption an “object”.

When you Insert>Caption, a dialog pops up. Most of the time, you choose from the Category drop-down menu. But you can change wording to whatever you like:

  1. click at end of “Figure”
  2. erase word with Bksp
  3. enter whatever word you want
  4. adjust other settings as usual
  5. OK
