When I right click on certain images, I do not get the Caption option. When I
use References, Caption, a text box is created and, as I understand it, Word
2003 can't pick up a caption from a text box.

Not all my figures are showing up in the List of Figures.

I know that some of the images are different but I don't know what the
differences are.

The difference could be that the pictures that have Text-Box Captions have
floating layout format applied (Format Picture, Layout), that is to say any
layout apart from InLineWithText.
Check you pictures to see if this causes the problem you are having.
Best of luck

You may find it easier to insert all pictures (and other objects) as "In
line with text," add the caption in a separate text paragraph, and then wrap
a frame around them (use the Insert Frame button on the Forms toolbar). The
advantage of frames is that they allow text to be wrapped around them, and
their contents can still be "seen" by Word for the purpose of creating a
list of figures.

You are absolutely correct. This was the problem and I was able to figure it
out after much research. Thanks so much.

Yes, that is what I discovered. Thanks for replying.
