Default Table of content (figures, tables)

Hi,

I'm trying to create a list of my tables on Word. I'm
able to create the list automatically with captions, but
the description of the table that is on line below
the "Table 1" doesn't appear on the list of table. Is
there a way to include the description of the Table in
the list (not manually)? The exemple below shows what I
would like to have, the (=) means break page. Thanks for
your help.

================================================
List of table

Table 1 Money vs Time............1

=================================================
Text, blablabla......
...........................

Table 1

Money vs Time

Text, blabla................

If you have used Insert | Caption to insert your table titles, this will be
handled automatically when you create a list of tables. I'm guessing you've
done this manually since you have separate paragraphs for the table numbers
and table titles. One approach to this is to include the table title style
in the TOC instead of the table number style. Then format the TOC style with
Table # autonumbering.

Instead of:

Table 1^p
^p
Money vs Time

where ^p = paragraph mark (Enter key)
try:

Table 1^l
^l
Money vs Time

where ^l = manual line break (Shift + Enter)

Hi Chad,

Thank you very much, you have made my day. Your tip works
perfectly. Yesterday I resigned to modify manually
my "list of table" at the last step, but with your help
my TOC, "list of figure" and "list of tables" will be
handle automatically by Word. Thanks again.

Eric,
