Thanks Peter. The method of copy and replace seems to do the trick. I
didn't know you could do the ^c function to insert a field like that.
Thanks again! This forum is excellent.

This seems to be something else altogether. If you just want to
replace
every occurence of XYZ in a document with the caption field, the
simplest
way is probably
a. create the caption text and fields you want (e.g.
Figure { SEQ Figure \*Arabic }
b. Edit|Copy that stuff so it's on the clipboard
c. use Edit|Replace to replace XYZ by ^c (i.e. the clipboard contents).
