Question Insert Cross-Reference is missing figures...

I've been happily using the caption/referencing system for quite a while now, but on a recent document I've become a little stuck...

I have about 30 figures in my document, all placed in-line with text, and all captioned using the right-click -- Insert Caption dialog box. All 30 figures also appear in my Table of Figures at the start of my document.

However, when I try to insert a cross-reference to my figures it only lists the first 28 in the dialog box... and I need to insert references to the later figures and beyond...

If anyone has any ideas that would be greatly appreciated

Oh, and I'm not tracking changes, as I've seen that's often the cause of the problem, but not here..

Default Insert Cross-Reference is missing figures...

Hi,

I have about 30 figures in my document, all placed in-line with
text, and all captioned using the right-click -- Insert Caption
dialog box. All 30 figures also appear in my Table of Figures at
the start of my document.


are you using built-in labels? May be, you used different (your own)
labels, and opened the document on a second PC, you have to create your
labels there again.
And check, whether some of your captions are sitting within text boxes
instead of inline with text.

Thanks for the tips. I am using the default 'Figure' label, and I've only worked on this document on a single PC. Also, all of my captions are in-line.

I have solved the issue though! It turns out that the missing captions were listed in the dialog box, just out of numerical order (it ran 19, 20, 21, 29, 30, 22, 23...). No idea how that happened... and it's still doing it after restarting Word/the PC!

Maybe that's the order they were inserted into the text, and when
they're updated for sequence, the order doesn't change in the list?

A misbehaving Cross-reference dialog box has been reported earlier; as far
as I know, it remains unresolved.

The particular symptoms you have encountered are unusual, though. :-(
