Default Problem with Caption Numbering

Caption numbers are actually SEQ fields. Are you able to add the SEQ field
via Insert | Field (Word 2003) or Insert tab | Quick Parts | Field (Word
2007)?

I'm working on a large document with multiple figures and tables. I have been
inserting captions (right click-- insert caption) throughout, as well as
corresponding cross-references, without any problems.

However, on one particular table I can't insert a caption. It seems to work
fine, but when I click OK it shows up just as "Table . Blah blah." (no table
number is inserted, just a space). If I then try to write a cross-reference
to that table, it doesn't show up in the list of available tables.

I tried closing and re-opening the document but it didn't help. What might
be going wrong here?

Thanks!
