TOC and Figures .. PLEASE HELP

[Mike]

I have a 160 page document with over 120 different pictures with figure
captions. Some of my graphics are inline and other are text flowing around.
All of my figure numbers show and figure auto count works correctly but when
I create my figure table only the my inline figures show up in the figures
table.

How can I fix this problem? I also tried using frames and that was a big
mess and major headache!!! Why does this thing not work?

Thank you in advance,
Mike

Hi Mike

When Word creates a table of contents, it can't "see" anything in the
drawing layer. It can only "see" what's in the text layer. So if you have
captions that are text, they will be picked up in the Table of Contents. But
if some of the captions are in a text box, the TOC can't see them.

There are only two ways to have a caption appear in a Table of Contents: put
the caption as straight text, or put it in a frame.

For information about how to work with pictures and captions in frames see

Hope this helps.

Thank you, I now understand. The said part is I now have to change a very
long document in order to make this work. (bummer) :-(

Thank you for your help!!!
