Yes, it seems strange to me too. The caption is present in
the dialog box, the figure or table number is correct but
when I press Insert nothing happens, even though I do see
the Insert button go down. Some of the caption references
do get inserted and some don't.

Thanks anyway.

Gotcha. I've type a lot of manuscripts that way in my
day. If you've used
Insert | Caption, then I can't think of any reason why
the caption would not
be available in the Cross-reference dialog. I assume
you're selecting the
appropriate reference type (Table or Figure, as
appropriate)?

Actually there aren't even any graphics in the file.
Instead of graphics I have text that says "Insert Figure
xx" here and then beneath that I insert a figure
caption.
Similarly, the table are not Word tables but just text
separated by tabs. (These formats are dictated by my
publisher.)

Note that if you insert a caption for a wrapped
graphic,
it will be in a
text box. If all your figures and tables are inline,
then
this will not be
an issue.

The headings are in built-in styles, though I
believe I
changed the font size. The figures and table captions
are
what Word inserts. I then apply a style to them but I
think that also just changes the font size.

All of these headings are in one of Word's built-in
heading styles? Or are
bookmarked in some way?

No, none of them are in text boxes. I just tried
inserting
a reference to a chapter. It works for Chapter 7
and
Chapter 11, but not 8, 9, or 10!

Are some of your figure/table captions in text
boxes?
Word can't "see" text
in text boxes.

I have a doc on Windows XP with Word 2002. I
just
started
having problems inserting references to some of
the
headings, figures, tables, and custom items.
When
I
select
Insert|Reference|Cross-reference all the
figures,
tables,
etc. are present in the list box. However,
when I
select
one and press the insert button the button goes
down
but
nothing gets inserted. They don't all fail -
inserting
works on some of the cross-references but not
on
others.

TIA

Greg Reese
