Word documents can get corrupted. That is my favourite way of sorting them out.

I have a Word document created in Word 2007. &nbsp;This document contains 40 tables. &nbsp;Several of these tables do not appear in the Insert Cross-reference dialog box and several appear more than once. All of the table captions were created in References&gt;Insert Caption. &nbsp;The captions appear above each table but never in the Insert Cross-reference dialog. &nbsp; The captions are not in text boxes but in text. The document also contains headings. The table captions do appear when I create a List of Tables.<br />
<br />
I am working in Track Changes mode, but the captions that are not appearing are not marked as changes. I have also saved the document, exited and reopened the document. In addition I opened it on another machine. I also deleted and reinserted the captions. None of these actions corrected the problem. <br />
<br />
Is there a way to force the list that appears in the Insert Cross-reference dialog to refresh?

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
