Thank you for the idea.

I try to put it to work.

Unfortunately, Word inserts the caption bookmark around the whole
paragraph.
The only way to avoid this (short of getting MathType) is to put the
equation and its caption in the left and right cells of a single-row,
two-column borderless table. If you save a sample table (with dummy
equation
and caption) as an AutoText entry, it is fairly trivial to insert.

I am using WORD2002-SP3, with W2K-SP4

I write equations using the equation editor included in WORD. I want to
number these equations automatically. There for I use the insert a
"caption"
from the "Insert - Reference - Caption" menu. I place this caption at
the
right edge of the line of the equation using the right tabulation. Thus
the
"caption is located in the same paragraph as the equation, which is what
I
want, as I want the equation number to be on the same line as the
equation.

Note : I defined a "new" label as "[Ed. ". The caption is thus not a
"standard" caption.

It works fine : the equations are sequentially numbered and the number
comes
on the right place, at the far-right end of the equation line.

The problem comes when I want to reference an equation somewhere in the
text
: I use the menu item "Insert - Reference - Cross reference" and then
choose
the correct equation in the list. Whatever I ask to insert ("Entire
caption"
/ "Only label and number" / "Only caption text") the whole line gets
inserted, i.e. the complete equation, the caption label and the equation
number.

Can anyone give me a hint on how to insert only the equation number and
not
the whole line (paragraph ?).

Thank you in advance.
