The best explanation so far. Simple and to the point. No words to thank you !!!

[@tyg9439]

Thank you. This method really works. I initially inserted my List of Tables and Figures using the document Table of Headings in conjunction with the Caption and everything worked well the first time. However, I encountered significant problems during revision of the document. The Tables would update, but the Table number and the pages were frequently off by a page or two. Attempts to update the entire table resulted in a "no Tables found" indication. I stumbled on RTRU out of frustration, and it worked the first time. You may have to update a single entry after your table populates, but doing so is fairly simple. Thanks again, RTRU.

Very extensive review using Word. You would have to be a genius with expansive computer experience to easily use these suggestions!
