Default Using a 1-cell table as a figure to be listed in a Table of Figure

I cannot replicate that problem here.

If you press Alt+F9 to toggle on the display of the field codes, for the
tables you should see

Table { SEQ Table \* ARABIC }

and for the figures, you should see

Figure { SEQ Figure \* ARABIC }

If you have captions that are appearing as Table when they should be Figure,
you can edit the field code by replacing the words Table with Figure.

You can then copy that caption and paste it in the location where you want
another Figure caption.

I need to keep both a List of Tables and a Table of Figures. However, most
of the figures will simply be software programmer's code shown in a 1-cell
table. When I insert a caption and choose Figure instead of the automatic
Table, it updates all my tables as figures. I can't seem to separate
these.

I'd like to either find a way to use a 1-cell table as a figure separate
from all other tables, or find another way to display the code in a box
with
gray shading/black border.
