I have no idea about the default caption-style in Word2004.
But in Word2007 the default style for Captions is "Caption"
In Word2003 and Word2007 it is possible to modify the style used by captions
- including the "automatically update" setting.

Hmm. I can't get that to happen in Word 2004, even with automatically
update on. To be honest, since Insert | Caption should insert hard-coded
text, that really doesn't make any sense at all. (If you hit option-F9, you
will see the number change to a field code, but the label is plain text,
there shouldn't be anything that *can* update it.) Were you copying and
pasting the captions or anything? How did you create them?
Wild guess--perhaps the doc is corrupt. Try the fixes here ON A COPY.

I assume you really are using a Mac and 2004 was not just a typo. If so,
and corrupt doesn't fix it, please follow this up on the MacWord newsgroup
rather than this busy and overcrowded newsgroup, in case it is a Mac issue.

In a Word 2004 document, I have inserted captions for Figures. When I insert
a caption for a Table, it changes all the "Figure" captions to "Table". If I
change one back to "Figure", it changes them all to "Figure" including the
one that was inserted as a "Table". Very frustrating!
