Default List of Tables remove term "Table"

You can accomplish this, but not straightforwardly. You'll need to create TC
fields containing the caption alone (without the number at all), and create
a TOC based on "table entry fields" only. Then apply numbering to the TOC
style you're using for the List of Tables. You can format the numbering as
right-aligned. Assuming you don't want numbering applied to the entries in
your actual TOC, use a lower-level style (TOC 4 or 5, say) for the List of
Tables, and include that level number in your TC field (you can modify the
TOC style to have the appropriate indent, that is, less indent than it has
by default).

I am using the List of Tables feature in Word. Is it possible to not have
the
word "Table" appear in the actual List? I know I can delete them all, but
when I update the table, all my changes disappear. Also, if I can remove
the
term "Table," can I make it so #1-9 are one digit shifted as to line up
better with 10-99?

Word does the following:

Table 1: Title I placed .................. 1
Table 2: Another title.....................2
Table 10: Additional Title .............50

I want the following:

1: Title I placed .......................... 1
2: Another title.............................2
10: Additional Title ......................50

Thank you a lot!
