Table of Figures - Changes to Figure Captions not updating

[Guest]

When I make changes to the figure caption or title within the document, go
back to the table of figures and do an update, my changes are not reflected.

It seems as though whom ever set this document up didn't use the caption for
each figure throughout the document.

Should I be looking in another place to access the list of figures that are
in the table of figures? Seems like it is pulling the list from another
source within the document and not on the actual page.

A table of figures in Word makes use of a TOC field. What field code
is used in your document? Press Alt+F9 to find out.

Thanks for the reply. I just figured out the problem at the end of the day
yesterday. Once I turned on my Paragraph Marks, I could see the other
location and codes where the Table of Figures was getting the default
information. So not only did I have to change the information on the actual
page, but also in the TOC field codes as well.

Since nonprinting marks were part of the solution, I guess the table
of figures was built on TC fields?

Anyway, I'm glad you got it sorted.
