MS Word 2007 (in 2003 compatibility mode)

I have a single table which is not added to list of tables when I update the
list of tables.

I can not add a reference to it either.

I captioned it like all other tables in the document.

When I try to add a reference to it the list of tables goes:
Table 15: ...
Table 16: ...
Table 18: ...
Table 19: ...

Is there any way to force word to reset the above list? It seems like it
just doesn't know the table exists.

That particular table was added with MS Word 2003 on a computer I know
longer have access to. Now I am stuck using a computer with MS Word 2007. I
did add a new table today with the MS 2007 version of word (but that table is
way away from this one index wise and many pages away in the doc).

This all started when my inserted cross references for tables began showing
"Table 1717" or "Table 1718" instead of "Table 17". I deleted Table 17's
caption at that time and reinserted it. That is when Word lost all knowledge
of that table.
 
This might work. Copy the caption for Table 16 (the whole paragraph)
to the Clipboard, select the entire caption of Table 17 (the whole
paragraph) and Paste the 16 caption there. The number should say 17;
don't go anywhere near the label "Table 17" and edit the text to how
it should read -- and then maybe it'll turn up in the ToC.

(Maybe some vital character in the cross-reference field got lost, or
maybe creating it in a different way from the others caused something
different to be put in. This solution should get the "same" thing in
instead.)
 
Thanks. That worked.

Of course, I should not have had to do that! MS Word drives me crazy.

Yay!

Well, you did switch versions in the middle of the horse.

Or something like that.

Any chance of getting to continue to work in Word2003? From what I've
been reading here for six months, the only advantage 2007 has over
2003 is the bibliography resource (and even that doesn't seem to work
as advertised), which most users will never have any use for, while
all the innovations seem to have been change for the sake of change,
not well thought through, and not well executed.
