Default Find missing caption

Thank you, Folks, but neither seemed to work, or am I not doing it right?

Forgot to mention that I was using Word 2007. The captions are therefore
(?) in text boxes. Could this be the reason why they don't get detected by
"Find" or "Go To" functions?

Perhaps I should just use Publisher although it doesn't seem to have
automatic-captioning feature either...

I've inserted a picture (floating) in a document and placed a caption
with prefix "Fig.". Naturally the first picture was "Fig. 1 XXXX"
but as I was relatively new to this feature, I had a couple of trials
and errors to get the positioning right.

Subsequently, I got the second picture inserted and try to insert
caption for that, too, but the numbering isn't quite right and it
wants to put "Fig. 3" instead of "Fig. 2".

There could be an orphaned caption ("Fig.2") somewhere within the
document but I can't see it. Is there a way to find this missing
caption and delete it?

Or could there be any other reason for this irregular numbering?

Thank you.
