Build List of Figures and Tables using the Caption Style

[parrish]

I have a document (Word 2000) with tables and figures. I've named the tables
and figures using Insert | Caption and have labeled them appropriately. I
want to build a separate list of figures and list of tables. When I try this
using Insert | Indexes and Tables| Tables of Figures, the TOC that is built
combines both the tables and figures. This occurs even if I select the table
identifier check box and choose the appropriate letter, i.e. F or T. How do
I build separate list of figures and tables without using two different
styles?

Hello Parrish,

I have several document I formatted this way but I can't remember the
precise details of how I did it the first time (and after the first time I
just copied, to save myself the tedium). I *think* I did this:

Below the automated listing in the table of contents, type "Figures" (and
below that, "Tables") and format in Normal+bold etc. Select and cut the
table of contents entries for figures; paste under the "Figures" heading.
Repeat for tables. Ensure that a blank paragraph formatted in Normal follows
the last entry (this minimizes corruption of the document).

I *think* Word was smart enough to distinguish between them after that.

If this doesn't work, keep persevering! (and post again, but in
microsoft.public.word.formatting.longdocs -- there are more people there,
since the newsgroup you're in right now is for Mac Word users).

Cheers,

PS: One thing that may be relevant: the "Figures" entries pick up (repeat)
the text in instances of my style "caption for figure" and the "Tables"
entries pick up the text in instances of my style "caption for table". And
the style allocated to both the list of figures below the table of contents
and to the list of tables is "Table of Figures".
