Add figure, which is a table, to the list of tables

Question

I am converting my thesis from Word to LaTeX, and I saved several huge tables as images.

For my thesis I have to compile a list of tables and figures. I am using \listoftables and \listoffigures.

However, now that some of my tables are given by images, it would add those table to the List of Figures. What would be a good way to list those images to the List of Tables as well (instead of List of Figures).

I could imagine there should be a way to make an invisible table with one cell which contains the table image. Maybe somebody has LaTeX code.

Any ideas are appreciated!

Answer 1

You can simply go

\begin{table}
    \includegraphics{....

there is no requirement to use tabular in table or to use \includegraphics in figure

The commenters requested code to put the caption in both the lof and the lot, so in cse that is what you meant:

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\listoftables

\listoffigures

\section{jkhgfv}

\begin{table}[h]
 table
\caption[my (lot) table]{my table}
  \addcontentsline{lof}{table}%
    {\protect\numberline\thetable\ignorespaces my (lof) table}

\end{table}

\end{document}
