Default how to cross reference multiple but sequential captioned figures

Hi Jes

Insert a cross-reference to Figure 9, then insert one to Figure 12. Now, add
or delete text necessary to achieve what you want to see. To help that
process, do Tools Options View and set the Field Shading box to
"Always". The cross-reference fields themselves will then be shaded in grey
(the shading does not print). You can safely delete or change any ordinary
text around the fields.

Hope this helps.

hi all,

wxp pro sp2, word 2003,

i have some figures that i have labelled using built-in caption function
in
word 2003. in the text, i have used the Insert - Cross-reference -
Figures
(with hyperlink) e.g. "Figure 2 showed the result diagrammatically..."
where
clicking on Figure 2 in-text will bring me to the actual Figure 2.

I am wondering how to insert cross-reference of multiple but sequential
figures e.g. Figure 9-12 in the text? Would anyone be able to advice me?

Thank you,
jes
