It's an extension of the idea in
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CombineXrefs.htm: you can reassign the
bookmarks that Word creates to be around just the text you want included.

Using a hidden SEQ field is a clever idea, but, apparently, Word
doesn't "see" hidden SEQ fields for cross-reference purposes.
I'm not 100% sure what work-around Suzanne had in mind (that doesn't
include tables), but here's one: you can manually add a bookmark
around the correct piece of text and then cross-reference the text of
that bookmark.

A table is helpful because if you put the equation and caption in

..Any further explanations on this? I'd love to be able to cross
reference my equations without using a table.
I thought of manually making a hidden field right before the left
paren
and then using the \c (repeat last) flag inside the paren, like
this:
{ SEQ Eqn \h}({ SEQ Eqn \c })
then selecting "only caption text" when inserting a cross-reference,
but it didn't work. Nothing showed up under the "Eqn" list of
available
references. I'm guessing this is because the field is hidden?
Anyways, I'd love some advice on how to do this without tables.
