List of figures
I have used the caption feature to label all of my graphics, yet when I try
to create a list of figures, only 2 of the 50+ figures show. Any suggestions? |

List of figures
Probably due to your captions being in Text Boxes, which makes them
invisible to the table of figures. Probably also not your fault - if you select a floating picture and ask to caption in, Word puts the caption in a Text Box - a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is going to do next! -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "Stressed in Tampa" wrote in message ...

List of figures
Margaret:
Thank you! After a crazy day fighting with this document, it was so nice to hear that is wasn't my fault! Who knew. I did go back and convert my text boxes to frames - and then I was able to generate the list of figures. Every day I learn more and more... Thanks for you input.

List of figures
Yes, this is one of those undocumented improvements that we might never have
known about if a few Word MVPs hadn't been sitting with one of the Word dev team at the product group dinner at a recent MVP Summit. We were griping about the idiocy of Word's putting captions in text boxes when it can't see text in text boxes for purposes of TOCs, cross-references, etc. To our amazement, the Wordie demonstrated that this had been fixed in Word 2007 (though of course it hadn't occurred to anyone to advertise this fact). Since the feature is not backward-compatible, however, it's of limited usefulness until the entire world is using Word 2007 or above. -- Suzanne S.
