If it’s still wrong, proceed to 步骤-by-步骤 解决方案.

步骤-by-步骤 解决方案

步骤 1: Understand What 表格 of Figures Includes

表格 of Figures only shows captioned items.

1. In your 文档, look at every figure/图像
2. Right-click each figure
3. If you see “Insert Caption,” the figure isn’t captioned
4. If you see “Edit Caption,” the figure IS captioned
5. The 表格 of Figures shows ONLY figures with captions
6. All other images/figures are excluded

步骤 2: Add Missing Captions

Figures without captions won’t appear in 表格.

1. Right-click a figure that should be in the 表格 but isn’t
2. Select Insert Caption
3. A Caption dialog opens
4. It should show:
   • Label: Figure (or “Figure”)
   • Number: Auto-numbered
   • Position: Below selected item
5. Edit the caption 文本 if desired (e.g., “Figure 1: My 图表”)
6. Click OK
7. Caption appears below the figure
8. Repeat for every figure that needs to be in 表格

步骤 3: 验证 All Figures Have Same Label Type

表格 of Figures shows captions with specific label only.

1. Look at existing captions
2. 检查 the label used (should be “Figure,” not “Illustration,” “图像,” etc.)
3. If some captions use “Figure” and others use “图像,” they won’t group together
4. To 修复:
   • Edit each caption: right-click > Edit Caption
   • Change label to consistent choice (e.g., all “Figure”)
   • Click OK

步骤 4: 检查 表格 of Figures Settings

The 表格 might be filtering out items.

1. Right-click the 表格 of Figures
2. Select Edit Field or Field Code
3. You see code like: {TOF ...}
4. Look for parameters:
   • \c "Figure" means it shows only “Figure” captions
   • \l "Figure" means it shows specified label only
5. 验证 the label matches your captions
6. If you need to change, edit the field code (advanced)
7. Or delete and recreate with correct label (easier)

步骤 5: Delete and Recreate 表格 of Figures

Most reliable 修复.

1. Right-click the 表格 of Figures
2. Select Delete 表格 or press Delete
3. The entire 表格 is removed
4. Position cursor where 表格 should be
5. Go to References > 表格 of Figures
6. A dialog opens:
   • Label: Choose label type (usually “Figure”)
   • 格式: Choose appearance
   • Include label and number: 检查 or uncheck as desired
7. Click OK
8. New 表格 generates with current captions
9. All captioned items now appear

步骤 6: 更新 All Fields After Adding Figures

New figures won’t appear until refresh.

1. Add a new figure with caption
2. Select all 文本: Ctrl+A
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+F9 (更新 ALL fields)
4. Wait a few seconds
5. 表格 of Figures now includes new figure
6. Click in 文档 to deselect

Or selectively:

1. Right-click 表格 of Figures
2. Select 更新 Field
3. Choose “更新 entire 表格”
4. Click OK

步骤 7: 修复 Caption Numbering

If captions are numbered wrong (Figure 1, Figure 3, Figure 2):

1. Right-click the 表格 of Figures
2. Select 更新 Field > 更新 entire 表格
3. This renumbers captions to sequential order
4. Or manually renumber:
   • Right-click each caption > Edit Caption
   • Manually change number
   • Do this only if auto-numbering doesn’t work

步骤 8: 检查 Bookmark References

Some TOF uses bookmarks.

1. Go to Insert > Bookmark
2. Review existing bookmarks
3. Some bookmarks might be referenced in 表格 of figures
4. If bookmark not found, caption won’t appear
5. Ensure bookmarks are created for all captions

步骤 9: Separate Tables for Different Label Types

If you have figures, photos, and illustrations all needing their own tables:

1. Create separate 表格 of Figures for each:
   • Go to References > 表格 of Figures
   • Set Label to “Figure” for 表格 1
   • Click OK
2. Create another 表格:
   • Go to References > 表格 of Figures
   • Set Label to “Photo” for 表格 2
   • Click OK
3. Each 表格 shows only items with matching label

步骤 10: Rebuild 文档 if Severely Corrupted

Last resort:

1. Copy all 文档 content (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C)
2. Create new 文档
3. Paste as unformatted: Paste Special > Unformatted 文本
4. Re-add all captions fresh:
   • Right-click each figure > Insert Caption
5. Create new 表格 of Figures
6. This ensures clean 表格 with correct items

Why This Happens

1. Figures not captioned — Uncaptioned images don’t appear
2. Inconsistent label names — “Figure” vs. “图像” vs. “Illustration” don’t match
3. 表格 not updated — After adding captions, 表格 wasn’t refreshed
4. Caption deleted — Caption 文本 removed but not via caption dialog
5. Field corrupted — TOF field code is invalid
6. Different 文档 sources — Captions from multiple opened documents
7. Caption hidden — Caption 文本 is white/hidden or in wrong location
8. Wrong label selected — TOF set to show “图像” but captions labeled “Figure”

如何 Prevent It

1. Add captions immediately — Insert caption right after adding figure
2. Use consistent labels — Decide on “Figure” or “Photo” and stick with it
3. 更新 表格 after edits — Always refresh (Ctrl+Shift+F9) before sharing
4. Test early — Create first TOF after first figure to 验证
5. Don’t manually edit captions — Use Insert > Caption dialog, not direct 文本 edit
6. 验证 captions show in references — Go to References > Captions to see all
7. 更新 before sharing — Refresh all fields before sending 文档
8. Use templates — Create template with proper caption setup

Still Not Working? Alternative Solutions

1. Create 表格 manually — Type 表格 with figure names and 页面 numbers
2. Use Fields instead — Insert Field > Index and Tables > 表格 of Figures manually
3. Use Google Docs — Different referencing system might work better
4. Create bookmark-based TOF — Use bookmarks with cross-references
5. Export captions to Excel — Manual workaround for complex scenarios
6. Use caption 工具 add-ins — Third-party tools for advanced caption management
7. Contact Microsoft 支持 — For persistent field/caption issues
