Anthony,

I have to do something similar, but as far as I know you cannot autopopulate the table directly. I use an indirect approach.

You can create a list of paragraphs and specify which paragraph styles you want in the list. Then convert the list to a table. If you want the paragraph/figure/table numbers in one column and the content in another, you can play with the reference page that Frame creates for your list by adding tabs at the place where you want the content to go into a column. Then update the book and convert the new list into a table.

That is the only way I know how to do what you want. Maybe others have other ideas.

Hope this helps,
Van
