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 caption text for my table. For instance I
created 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

You can either Ctrl+F9 and type your text between the field delimiters (the
things that look like braces but aren't), or you can use Insert | Field. In
either case, you'll need to check "Table entry fields" in the TOC Options to
make these show up. Assuming you've already created your TOC and it works
for existing captions, just updating the TOC (F9) will add the new ones.
