Some captions do not appear in Insert Cross-references dialog
Hello,
I have a Word 2007 SP1 document with twenty tables. Each table was captioned by selecting the table, right-click and select €śInsert caption€¦€ť menu item. All captions appear in the text of the document above each table €“ none are in text boxes. When I try to insert a table reference with Insert Cross-reference, several of the table captions are missing from the Insert Cross-reference dialog. Updating all fields (Ctrl-A, F9) does not change the result (the same captions are consistently missing in Insert Cross-reference). Below is a table caption that does appear in Insert Cross-references Table { SEQ Table \* ARABIC } Cargo Manifest of Containers and Items successfully packed by the VCE Below is a specific table caption that does not appear in Insert Cross-references: Table { SEQ Table \* ARABIC } Cargo Items not packed in containers Would anyone be able to shed some light on this? |

Some captions do not appear in Insert Cross-references dialog
Could some of the captions have been inadvertently formatted as hidden?

I have a similar problem for which I'd like help. I have a 27-page document with 22 tables, for which I have been using 'Track Changes' extensively. As a standard, I insert a cross-reference to each table in-line in the text; for example, "As the listing in Table 5 shows, bla bla bla" (where 'Table 5' is inserted as a cross-reference.) I wasn't having any problems for a while. Then, something bad happened, and now when I go to insert a cross-reference, the "Cross-reference" dialog shows a corrupted list of tables from which to pick. Right now, it shows: Table 1: Global Lookup content Table 1: Global Lookup content Table 2: Global Lookup Items database params Table 2: Global Lookup Items database params Table 15: Map Items db params Table 15: Map Items db params Obviously there is repetition, and only 3 of my 22 tables show up in the list. If I do Shift-F9 and update all, it isn't fixed. If I close out and re-open the document, it isn't fixed. Please help. I installed Word 2007 SP1, though I don't know where Word 2007 has hidden the "About" menu command, so I can't produce the exact version of Word I am using at the moment. Thanks, -Jeff |

ironed out till changes are accepted. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "jishaq" wrote in message ... "Suzanne S.

You need to Accept all Changes that have anything to do with the
numbering of tables. On Dec 17, 7:20*pm, jishaq wrote: "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Are you tracking changes?

If I am using "Track Changes" to edit a document, then chances are I'm ... well, editing the document! And as such, I would expect the ability to insert a cross-reference to a table to work correctly during this process. This seems like a very common use case. Thank you, -Jeff |
