Inserting Table of Figures Insists on Overwriting Existing

I am continuing to struggle with this, although on one occasion I somehow found a way to deselect other entries. Now I can't remember what I did differently.

Unfortunately, I made the mistake of deleting that Quick Part, and now have to again create a TOc with TOF entries for figures and tables in the body and appendix of the document. So far I have a list of figures for the body and one of tables. Now I want to add lists for the appendix.

Every time I call up the Insert TOF command, Word selects the first existing TOF, then I get the dialog box "Do you want to replace the selected TOF." The only options are OK, Cancel, and Help. There is no "No."

I tried inserting empty paragraphs after the first entry, and assigned a different paragraph style, but no go. Word selected the first entry and all of the paragraph markers, and gave me the same dialog box.

What step have I left out? If I have to completely recreate this template containing 39 Quick Parts I've created, I'll go looking for a cliff to jump off of!

One method I use is to give the captions different labels to make different indices. i.e. In the body I might use Figure or Table, and in the Appendices use "App-Figure and App-Table." Then Word does not confuse them.

BTW, on my Word version I have the "No" option, but if I use that, a new table is created with the same items as the other table.

Creating a second caption label may be helpful.

However, you should be able to alter the field code manually for the second table of figures, if necessary.
