How to keep automatic field after using a Word macro?

Hi everyone,

I am having a little problem with using my macro in word.

Background: I have tables in documents that look similar to one below. There are pictures in one row and captions in the row below it. These tables can contain up to 40-60 pictures. The "Picture #" portion of caption is an automatic field which updates if you add or remove pictures.

Picture 1.jpg	Picture 2.jpg
Picture 1: Flowers	Picture 2: Cars
Picture 3.jpg	Picture 4.jpg
Picture 3: Boats	Picture 4: Stars

I have a macro that would re-order the table if a picture is removed; lets say picture 2.

Picture 1.jpg	Picture 3.jpg
Picture 1: Flowers	Picture 3: Boats
Picture 4.jpg
Picture 4: Stars

After I run the macro, the automatic fields turn into static text and won't update anymore. I have tried displaying the automatic field using "ALT+F9" and then running the macro but it still won't retain the field.

Problem: Automatic fields don't remain automatic after the macro is run. How do I approach this problem?
