Hi,

I am using Word 2000 and and have deleted a numbered
figure by using the delete button. I find that when I
update fields the figure is still "seen" as the table of
figures jumps the deleted number and does not renumber all
to fill the hole. There are about 50 figures in the doc
which is about 110 pages long, there are also contents,
indexes, equations and tables.

Is there a specific way of deleting figures without this
happening?

I have looked at all the control codes etc and can find no
reference to the missing figure which may be hanging round
in the document.

Any ideas?
