Caption numbering problem in TOC
I use Word XP, on Win XP.
The numbering in my captions for tables under heading 4.0 will not appear in my TOC (Inserted Table of Figures, changed label to Tables, from template) and it merged the Table of Figures (actual figures in document) into the same TOC. One thing I probably did wrong is force the tables to number correctly by giving the tables in 4.0 a New Label of Table 4. The reason I did this is if I try use the Label "Tables" (from 3.0), it starts the numbering from the last numbered table in 3.0, i.e., the last table in 3.0 was 3-44 and then the tables under 4 will look like 4-45. I did this out of desperation because the original document seemed to have some corruption in it as the captions in 4.0 were first coming up as 0-1 instead of 4- 1 so I copied the whole document (w/out last paragraph sign) into a fresh page and that issue went away. Even worse, there is a ton of Direct Formatting from previous users, headings look like Heading 1, heading 1, char char-I don't know if this is an issue here or not-? If you have read this far, Thank YOU and please advise with anything at all. I have yet to find an answer to this weird problem. Sincerely, Gillman |

The standard way of building a table of figures or tables picks up captions
with a particular label (Table, for tables). So your new label is the problem here - see my answer to your later post to troubleshoot why you are not getting your section number inserted correctly. The build up of stylename aliases, including "char char" forms, is probably not helping you see what is going on here. You can delete the comma and all the names after the built-in Heading 1 name to help tidy up. Make sure you have the latest updates to Word XP (the multiple char char build-up was a bug in the first release). -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Gillman" wrote in message ...
