Default Insert Caption Numbering Error

If you are using W2003 or W2007, use open and repair on the file. (From
within Word,go to File/Office button Open; select the file name; and click
the down arrow on the Open button in the lower right of the dialog.) If
Word finds no errors, look for something else. For example, does the error
occur after start of a new section?

For what it's worth, I find it much faster to copy and paste a caption label
and number (& later update the field) than it is to go through the menus to
insert them, particularly when working an already prepared document where I'm
just adding the labels and numbers.

The problem starts with the fact that my caption label does not appea
in the list from "insert caption"... and if I manually enter it, th
number starts at "1". Do you know why a caption label would not appea
in the "insert label" dialog box? If I copy a "correct" one somewher
in the document and paste it into the "new" location, I can update th
numbering and it works fine, its very strange.

Have you checked to make sure the caption label is the same? A label
difference can be as small as a case change or a space would chang
