That explains it - the MS Help does not make this clear. Thanks

Word can't see captions in text boxes. It's preferable to insert captions
(and figures) In Line With Text if possible; if you must wrap text around
them, insert both figure and caption in a frame instead.

I have created labels for the figures in my document, using Insert,
Reference, Caption. I have placed the label under the figure each time
and
moved the text box down slightly and removed the line. I have not added
any
additional text to the labels €“ they all

I now want to create a table of figures. I have tried Insert, Reference,
Index and Tables. The format is From Template, the caption label is
Figure
and Include Label and Number is checked. However, the table is not
inserted
€“ I get Error! No table of figures entries found.

Ive tried not moving the caption boxes at all and tried having just
straightforward Figure 1, Figure 2 etc as well as with additional typed
text.


What am I doing wrong here? Im using XP.
