Yes, thanks for the feedback. As I suspected, when the field is updated,
you're back where you started.

shauna, suzanne,
i spoke to soon! here is an update.
shauna's method seems easy at first look but it came a little bit undone
when i moved the section en-bloc elsewhere in that what appeared as Figure
32-37 (i.e. Figure 32 was shaded, followed by unshaded dash "-" followed
by
shaded number "37") using shauna's simple method became Figure 51-Figure
56
in the new place (where Figure 51 and Figure 56 are both shaded probably
indicating that an field updates have taken place). i then have to re-do
the
deleting to make it appears as Figure 51-56 again. however, the hyperlinks
and sequences are intact.
on the other hand, suzanne's method retained the appearance as Figure x-z
in
the new place with the hyperlinks and sequences similarly intact.
bottom line, i suppose, if you haven't got a lot of Figure this and that
that may have to be moved (or moved a lot of times) then shauna's method
could save some time/effort but suzanne's method although more involved
would
save some time later. at which point one is preferred than the other i am
not
sure and may be down to individual preferences or tasks at hand.
shauna, suzanne, thought you might like the feedback.
thank you for your help.
