Word2003 List of Figures and List of Tables

[lots of questions]

Some clarification please.. can someone explain the most simple method to add
a List of Figures and separate List of Tables to a document.

In creating a document that has figures and tables, I want to create, in the
table of contents, a section to list the figures and a separate section below
the list of figures to display the tables in the document. Am confused about
the process of getting word to delineate and be able to update separately the
two entities.

When you use "insert Caption", there is a submenu which allows you to select
from: equation, figure, figure2 and table. After making your selections here
your figure or table title is inserted at the insertion point in the document.

If you highlight either title (figure or table), the 'style' is "Caption".
When setting up a list of figures and list of tables under the table of
contents, how does Word differentiate between the two, since both have the
style "caption". Do you need to create and apply a "style" for the figures
and separate one for the tables and use these when setting up the separate
lists? My thanks....

Word uses SEQ fields to do the numbering of these captions. The Tables pick up
all the SEQ fields with the specified label. Press Alt+F9 and you'll see the
fields (Alt+F9 again to go back to the field results)

Note: you've posted this in a group for programming questions (VBA). You'd
probably have gotten an answer within a few minutes after asking if you'd posted
to an end-user group (anything without VBA in the name, such as Tables, Page
Layout...)
