Default why are captions missing in XRef box - '03 to '07 ver

converted my 2003 doc to 2007 docx... went to insert some cross-references
and none of my exhibit (30+) captions are displayed in the cross-reference
dialog box... but the captions in the doc are numbered correctly and are also
updating in the TOC List of Exhibits...

Need help where to find them - thanks

Captions are displayed in the Cross-reference dialog only if you have
created the caption label through Insert | Reference | Caption. If you
create them manually, you can create fields and styles that look identical
to the ones Word creates, but Word will not recognize them. Also, the
caption labels are stored locally and will not transfer if you move a
document to another system. If the List of Exhibits is based on the style
used for the captions (Caption or some other), it will be correct regardless
of how the captions were created.

To add to what Suzanne has said, the caption labels are stored in
normal.dotm.
