Tables, Charts and Graph
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.
Use numerals with the percent sign (%) 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 Defense Department on first reference, then use DOD.
