Microsoft cross reference type missing

My colleague and I work on the same document, both have identical word versions!

However when she opens the cross reference dialogue under reference type, there are more than the standard options available, she also has the option "Graphique" and then subsequently below all the captions that were created via SEQ Graphique \* ARABIC.

Myself I do have the captions in the document, but when I would like to enter the cross reference, I dont see the Graphique option as reference type.

When its a Table , the second reference type that we use, I see it and I can apply it....

thank you very much for the help in advance, I cannot be more curious what the solution would be!

thanks for the quick reply, in the meantime I found out the solution myself:

In order to have a "custom" reference type available in cross reference, I need to generate a caption and define a "new label" myself. only then i do myself see this as a reference type.

thx

    Your colleague apparently has Word's field code display toggled 'on'. Pressing Alt-F9 toggles it on/off.
