Tables, Charts and Graphs

• Label pictures, illustrations and charts below the figure.
• Label tables above the table.
• When labeling figures, tables, slides, modules, chapters, etc., use numerals: Slide 3 instead of Slide Three.
• The % sign is acceptable for use in tables, charts and graphs.
• Abbreviations, acronyms and brevity codes may be used only if space is an issue, however, not on first mention. Spell out Department of Defense on first reference, then use DOD.
