Update of List of Tables in Microsoft Word page numbers only (Table of Figures, Table of Tables)

Question

I am only able to update the whole list of tables in microsoft word but there is no option to update only the number of pages like the list of figures... does anyone have an idea about how to update only the pages of the list of Tables?

Answer 1

A Table of Tables and a Table of Figures, in Word, are the same thing - just with different labels.

They both use the TOC field and the TOF style. From my webpage, here are the fields for a Table of Contents, a Table of Figures, and a Table of Tables:

They should both display the same dialog asking if you want to update the entire table or simply page numbers. Some changes in either your Table of Tables or in the source material may trigger simply an update to the entire table rather than simply page numbers. The same thing happens with a Table of Contents.
