I am trying to formulate a table of figures but have been unable to do so. I
want to use the style headings to form the table. I have formatted all the
figure the legends with the same style heading but the problem appears to be
that the legends are all within drawing canvasses and therefore word does not
see them. Therefore when I try to formulate a table it returns an error
saying ERROR! NO TABLE OF FIGURES ENTRIES FOUND.

Can anyone help?

Most likely, the captions are in *text boxes*; that's where Word places
captions inserted above or below an object (that is *not* "In line with
text"). And in Word versions older than Word 2007, such captions are not
visible to Word when creating a table of figures, as you have noticed.

To work around the problem, you can convert each text box to a frame; these
are visible to Word's caption feature. Click Format | Text Box. On the Text
Box, click the Convert to Frame button.
