My only problem is the table's caption. *After creating the table I

After adding the caption is look great sitting underneath the table.
But when I Update the Field, the caption vanishes every time. *Word is

Any ideas?

Ok, figured out the work around. When you right click on the table
and add the caption it is somehow gluing the table and it's caption
fields codes together. What I did instead was added a caption a few
paragraphs down from the table first. Then I refresh the table to
make sure that the caption and the table were divorced. Once that was
established and removed the paragraph markers in between the table and
the caption refreshing the table frequently to keep proving that the
caption and table where separate. This worked.
