Default list of tables missing

Hi
I am trying to create a list of tables in the TOC but the marked tables are
not coming through. I have labelled all the tables in the text using "insert
caption". I have also updated the entire TOC, but the tables are not coming
through. I have managed to create a list of figures though. Also, a few of
my tables are not showing in the cross reference box, despite them being
defined (I have inserted new captions to be sure and this does not help).
Weird.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Default list of tables missing

Note that if you select a floating object (that is, an object whose Text
Wrapping is *not* "In line with text") and add a caption, Word places the
caption inside a text box, and captions in text boxes cannot be "seen" for
the purpose of cross-reference and table of figures creation in versions
prior to Word 2007.

What you should do is place the object(s) "In line with text" and then wrap
a frame around the object and its caption; that way, you can position the
object and its caption. (There is an Insert Frame command on the Forms
toolbar. Of course, you can add the command to any toolbar.)

Thanks Stefan! I had a look at the "in line with text" and the format of the
picture was correct. The strange thing was that the tables that were missing
were part of one of the sections in the document so I cut out this section
out and redid it from scratch. When I did this, the missing table references
became visible in the cross reference list. However, the tables are still
not coming through in the TOC, but I cannot spend any more time on trying to
correct this, so will just have to move on swiftly. Thanks for you help.

Maybe some of the problematic captions are/were inside a drawing canvas?
