problem generating list of figures - duplicate entries

[ceuthophilus]

I'm working on a large document with a table of contents, list of
tables, and list of figures. I've created these using
insert->reference->Index and tables

Sometimes I find duplicate entries, expecially in the list of figures
which is generated. I've tried reformating that figure legend to
'normal' or 'clear formatting' and then reassing it to the appropriate
heading level, but this sometimes causes even more duplicate entries in
the list of figures - how to I fix this problem?

I'm sure this has been addressed before, but I seem to not be able to
find the appropriate keywords to extract a solution from the web.

Thanks,

If you have a manual page break before the caption, it will inherit the
Caption style, and the caption may be repeated. Instead of the manual page
break, format the caption as "Page break before."
