Update List of Figures

Using FM 8.0p277 on Vista.

I previously had a question regarding Figure numbering that was answered thanks to the users on this forum.

On a somewhat related matter, now that I have added figures to a document within a book, when I update the List of Figures (which I have set to pick up the FigureTitle) from the book file, it does not seem to be adding the new figures to the list. I have tried deleting and adding back in the new FigureTitles in question. I have deleted the List of Figures from my book and tried to create a new one, to no avail. However, if I create a stand-alone LOF from the document in my book that contains all the figures, that seems to work. Have I got a setting in the book somewhere that is impeding the update from the book file or am I missing something in my EDD that is causing the problem?

This is not an emergency since I can create a stand-alone LOF and add it to my book, but for books I may create in the future with more than one document containing figures, I'd appreciate a solution.

Janice,

This is just a guess but you create generated lists of something, Frame allows you to include both elements and paragraph formats. In my work, I rarely use paragraph formats, relying on the EDD to do most of the formatting. Therefore, when I create a list of something, I include only the relevant element. So, I am guessing that maybe you included a FigureTitle paragraph format, instead of a FigureTitle element, in your list of figures, or possibly something like that.

Again, just a guess.
