A while ago I have created my own text for a
table/listing of captions in my paper. Rather that I got
a listing of the full text of all my captions (what you
would get with a normal table of contents command), I
created my own text. For instance I got the following:

{ TC "Fig. 4.12. The extent of the glaciers" \f U \l "1" }
Now I have no idea how I did that. I know that I created
the indentifier U, but how did I put this text in? I
can't just type this line, now can I? How do I make word
understand that this is a table of contents text, and not
just some text in my paper? And secondly, how do I
activate it again? And if I make a new one, how do I
activate that, or in other words, how will it update my
listing of captions, so this one will be inserted?

Anyone?

Thanks.

Ctrl+F9 and type the text between the field delimiters or use Insert |

I suggest you make an AutoText entry for { TC "" \f U \l "1" } (field
braces like Suzanne wrote).
