Table of figures, table of tables..

Hi,

I'm an engineering student and I own a Macbook. For a change, I would like to use Pages 09 to write my report. However, two essential functions that I have in Word is not very obvious to me. Table of figures and Table of tables. Does anybody know how I can implement this to update automatically in my document?

I also have a quick question about numbering pages BEFORE the table of contents and having them referenced in the TOC. I've tried to do this but to no avail. I hope my experience with Pages 09 will be better than with Word 08, but if these functionalities are crippled, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to stick with Word 08.
