defining table captions in Word

Is there a good way to insure that table captions are provided for Jaws users when listing the tables in a document?

I am aware of the alt text tab of the table properties, but I am noticing that the language for the table is not being used when presenting this information.
I am also noticing that if a caption is provided above the table that Jaws does not always use the information when the tables are listed.

Is there something wrong with the caption style or the placement that might account for this?

Thanks for any feedback on this question.
