Yes, you can automate that.
First, you need to let Word number the tables. Probably using Insert |
Caption is easiest.
Then instead of typing Table 14, use a cross-reference (Insert |
Cross-Reference) to the table. You will need to hit F9 to update the
cross-references when the numbers change.

I have a lengthy document that contains about 30 Tables (Table 1 - Table 30).
I keep adding new tables to my document and then I have to change the table
titles that follow.
Within the text of my document, I often refer to the tables. For example I
may say see "Table 14 for a breakup of sales". I would like the 14 to
automatically switch when the title in the table it refers to changes.
Changing everything is turning out to be quite time consuming. Any way I can
automate this through hyperlink, bookmarking, or cross-referencing?
Please Help!!!
Thanks
