Thank you both. I do create different labels for the appendix -- apxFigure and apxTable. Interesting that Word enters a table with the same entries.

I didn't think of altering the field code to pull the appendix entries. I assum I wold cpy and paste the first one and then change the field label. I'll test that out.

In the meantime, I was able to find a copy of the correct TOC I somehow happened to create. (Along with a BIG message to mysef: Backup, backup, backup!) So the immediate crisis has been averted. I will try out changing the field codes (and Ill write myself instructions!)

Thanks to both.
