Can you provide more information on what changes were made to the "names of and second and subsequent tables" Where the names displayed by the results of fields in the document?

In the original scenario I had individual Word documents that contained only one table each. I was trying to make use of my predecessor's work. The top row of each table was a heading. When I copied each table and pasted it into another Word document that I wanted to contain all the tables the heading row changed on the 2nd and subsequent tables to match the first one I copied in. I tried unchecking the header box on the table and that made no difference. For instance, if the first line of the first table said "Accounts Receivable" and the first line of the second table said "Accounts Payable" the first line of the second table changed to "Accounts Receivable". Every table I tried to add after changed the first line to "Accounts Receivable". And, the cover page title changed, too. I don't know if it had anything to do with using the Header1 designation or just what was going on. I posted a question about this a couple of months ago and found there wasn't much help for this problem.

Now, since I've converted the Word tables to Excel, which I think is a lot easier than Word tables to manage, I can copy and paste them into the Word document with no issues. I would like to have the Table Of Contents automatically update with the name of each table in the top row......Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, etc.....but I can't figure out how to do it unless I put a title on the page ahead of the Excel table that contains each table name using Header1, Header2, etc. I can do this easily enough but it's not what I want to do. Excel table may be the wrong term but it helps me keep it straight when I'm in the Word document.

Any help will be appreciated.
