Default Updating references

I have a long doc with many figures and references such as See Figure
XXX and See Section YYY, respectively.

If I need to insert a new figure or a new section, the references are
obviously wrong.

Is there a way to have MS Word update the references automatically
instead of manually?

I am using MS Word 2003.

TIA

Default Updating references

REF fields do not update automatically. Switching to Print Preview should do
the trick, or do Ctrl+A, F9.
