a Footnotes for tables go below the table in this format(period at end). Be sure the footnote letter is placed appropriately in the table itself for reference.

Note(s): Use Note: or Notes: if the item is not something that can be referenced in the table itself (like the footnote above).

Source(s): Use Source: or Sources: to list the source(s) of the table information.

IMPORTANT:  Table headings go left-aligned above the tables, with the word Table and the table number in bold, followed by a period.  The table title (not in bold) should be listed in upper and lower case format, with no period at the end. If the title runs over to a second line, this line should also be left-aligned.  Center columns underneath column headings and decimal-align all numbers with decimals.  If you have a footnote at the bottom of the table, make sure you also place that footnote letter appropriately in the table itself for reference.  All footnote/note/source sentences should end with a period.  Make sure all tables have a rule under the heading and at the bottom of the table.  Tables should each be saved in a separate file in Word or Wordperfect format.

IMPORTANT:   Figure headings go left-aligned below the figures, with the word Figure and the figure number in bold, follow by a period.  The figure title (not in bold) should be listed in upper and lower case format, with no period at the end.   If the title runs over to a second line, this line should also be left-aligned.  Figures should each be saved in a separate file in PDF format.
