I appreciate your help. I guess I'll go with the equation captions under the equations. It takes an extra line, which means less room on the page, but I can more or less copy the equation into the comments so that they show up in the list.

I'm afraid to try any of your work-arounds, especially if they involve macros or complex styles. Even if I get them working, I can never remember how they work and end up messing them up later and then cannot figure out how to recover.

Clearly, the wizards at M$FT know what I need better than I do, so I'll just fall in line. (sigh)

Again, thanks for your help.

PS: Now I have one more table that has to prompt me to get updated. Is there any way to tell Word to automatically update all tables and lists without prompting me every time?
