Deleting Figures
Hi,
I am using Word 2000 and and have deleted a numbered figure by using the delete button. I find that when I update fields the figure is still "seen" as the table of figures jumps the deleted number and does not renumber all to fill the hole. There are about 50 figures in the doc which is about 110 pages long, there are also contents, indexes, equations and tables. Is there a specific way of deleting figures without this happening? I have looked at all the control codes etc and can find no reference to the missing figure which may be hanging round in the document. Any ideas? |

No, it's not hanging aroud, but possibly the bookmark used by the table of figures is still hanging around. Position the cursor in the table of figures and press the F9 key. This will update the table of figures. If offered the option between updating page numbers only or updating the whole table, choose the latter. The offending item will disappear. -- Regards Jonathan West - Word MVP http://www.multilinker.com Please reply to the newsgroup |

In addition: note that if you are tracking changes, auto-numbers often don't sort themselves out until all changes have been accepted. DM |

Deleting Figures
Thanks for the suggestions.
Have now fixed the problem (as none of the suggestions worked on Word 2000) by opening the doc in Word 2003, deleting the table of figs, accepting all changes and re- inserting the table, then move back to W2000. Before you ask! My work PC is on W2000 and home on W2003, all our work docs have to be on W2000 until they decide to upgrade all PCs, not a cheap job.
