    Hi @JINELLE RAMLACKHANSINGH ,
    Welcome to Q&A forum!

    Which version of Office are you using?
    Please make sure that your Table of Figures has been updated to the latest: go to References tab, click Update Table in Captions group.

    Does only Figure 3 have this issue? Please try to insert a new figure on page 231 to check this issue.

    If it also have this issue, please make sure that the page number of page 231 is automatically generated.
    As far as I know, the page number in the document directory is automatically generated based on the page number in the page.
    Wrong setting of section breaks in the document may cause this issue.

    I suggest you refer to John Korchok's suggestion to insert a page break to check.
    If it does not work, I would suggest you insert a section break at the end of page 230, if the page 231 number changed to 1, please go to Header & Footer tab to select Link to Previous, then re-insert the page number and click Update Table again to check this issue.

    Any updates, please let us know.
