Cross Referencing Headings

[Guest]

I am using Word 2002. In a manual, I have numbered headings for the chapters
and unnumbered headings for the Appendix. The Appendix includes drawings and
is quite lengthy. I need to refer to these drawings in the manual text, but
only the numbered headings show up on the list, even though my unnumbered
headings show up in the document map properly and when I run the TOC. Is
there something I am missing in the way I set up my heading styles to get
them to show up on the cross-reference list?

Are the headings that don't show up using the built-in heading styles 1-9 or
are they custom heading styles created from scratch?

If you need to refer to drawings, are you trying to cross-reference the
caption, or what? Was the caption created by using Insert | Caption?

It's still not clear to me exactly what your setup is.

Custom headings won't show up unless (a) they are autonumbered (in which
case they'll be listed as "Numbered items") or (b) you have bookmarked them
(in which case they'll be listed under "Bookmarks"). See

Or you could also use Captions, as long as you create them via Insert |
Caption--but the captions feature gives you the choice of using Table 1 or
Figure 2, etc, or a custom label, and those labels are the options that show
up in the Cross-reference dialog, rather than plain "caption", which is why
it seems like caption isn't listed.
