Place tables and illustrations as close as possible to the parts of the text to which they relate. A table is usually labeled Table, given an arabic numeral, and titled. Any other type of illustrative visual material--for example, a photograph, map, line drawing, graph, or chart--should be labled Figure (usually abbreviated Fig.), assigned an arabic numeral, and given a caption.

7.5 Referring to Tables and Figures in the Text
In the text, refer to every table and figure by its number--known as a callout. When you call out a table or figure, also tell readers what to look for in that table or figure. Do not write "the table above" (or "below") or "the figure on page 32." Referring to tables and figures rather than by location on the page also helps readers who access a work using assistive technologies such as screen readers.
