Cross-Reference Dialog Box

[Desperate Dan]

In Word 2007, the Cross-Reference dialog box shows only some of the Figure
captions and many that appear do so twice. The TOC and Lists of Tables and
Figures also have omissions but not so many. The document was converted from
Word 2000. I'm on XP. Any ideas, anyone?

How did you create the captions? Do they all have caption labels defined?

Also, are you tracking changes?

Hello Stefan; I'm pleased to hear from you.

-All captions legally defined.
-Tracking changes intermittently; due to their frequency they must be
Accepted at least daily.

I have deleted and re-created captions to no effect. The problem is worse
with "Figure" captions than with "Table" captions. A very few headings are
omitted from the TOC.

The problem developed several days after conversion from Word 2000 during
which time I made some edits which may have included the insertion of some
captions.

 

[Desperate Dan]

Later. I have installed SP3 but it makes no difference. I have deleted and
re-created the Figure captions that don't show in the generated list but they
are ignored, irrespective of where I create them. They show their correct
numbers.

Obviously, trouble-shooting this from a distance is difficult.

If you want to, I can take a look at the document. You can send it to
(e-mail address removed).

Deeply regret unable forward document. Security policy absolutely forbids.

In default of your inspiration shall begin rebuilding from scratch.

Thank you for your effort, Stefan.

 

[Stefan Blom]

OK. Can you reproduce the problem in a new document? If not, you may want to
treat your problem document as corrupt; see

I would have to create a document in 2000 (which I we no longer have) and
convert it in the hope of it suffering the same fate. I need to spend time
rebuilding this one by end of May. I shall preserve the faulty one in the
hopes of diagnosing it later. (The link you gave doesn't help, but thank you).

Sorry, I posted the wrong link. This one is for (possibly) corrupt
documents: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm.
