Creating a table that lists figures, tables, and equations

I'm writing a document that has equations, figures, and tables. Right now I have a separate list for each group, but I would like to combine them into one. Is there any way to do that automatically, or do I have to make it manually?

    Instead of creating separate lists based on the caption label, create a single list based on the Caption style. It will then include all captions.

    In the Table of Figures dialog, click Options... In the Table of Figures Options dialog, the Caption style should already be displayed (if the document contains captions). Check the box beside it, then click OK twice to insert your combined list of figures, tables, and equations.

    It would have to be done manually after selecting each of the separate tables and then pressing CTRL+SHIFT+F9 to convert them to ordinary text.  As subsequent modifications of the document will not result in the table being updated, you should make sure that you have finished editing the document before implementing the above procedure.
