Problem with Caption Numbering

J

JenC

I'm working on a large document with multiple figures and tables. I have been
inserting captions (right click--> insert caption) throughout, as well as
corresponding cross-references, without any problems.

However, on one particular table I can't insert a caption. It seems to work
fine, but when I click OK it shows up just as "Table . Blah blah." (no table
number is inserted, just a space). If I then try to write a cross-reference
to that table, it doesn't show up in the list of available tables.

I tried closing and re-opening the document but it didn't help. What might
be going wrong here?

Thanks!
Jen

Caption numbers are actually SEQ fields. Are you able to add the SEQ field
via Insert | Field (Word 2003) or Insert tab | Quick Parts | Field (Word
2007)?
