Press Alt-F9 to display field codes and you will understand it better. It's
the SEQ fields that are the key. These fields are used to create arbitrary
sequences of numbers (such as the numbering for tables or figures). Each
such sequence has a name. By default the captioning tool uses the names
'Figure', 'Table', and 'Equation'; but you can set up your own using any
name you like. The 'figures' in your document are simply those paragraphs
that contain a { SEQ Figure } field.

The tables of figures, tables, etc are TOC fields created using the \c
switch: this builds a TOC from each instance of the corresponding SEQ
fields.

maybe a better way to ask the question could be- How in the world does
MS Word identify what exactly is a table or a figure, if you do not use
the built-in captioning tool?

Hi,

Does anyone know how MS Word decides something is a "Table" or
"Figure"? When I look in cross-reference, I only have two of my tables
listed and no figures. When I create a Table of Figures or Tables it
seems to have found a whole bunch more.

My table/figure captions are set up with fields, not Word's built-in
captioning tool so I just wondered how Word was designating the
different elements and why the cross-referencing and the
table/index-building tools do not see the same tables and figures or
why they see any at all (index actually sees none, probably because I
didn't bother setting something else up - lol)?

Thanks so much!
