Updating "figure reference" in a document
I've created a training guide that contains a number of graphics which I have
labelled as figure 1, figure 2, etc... I used Insert / Reference / Caption for each figure so the numbering will automatically adjust whenever one is added or deleted. In referring to each figure, the text of the document contains the following; see figure xx. Is there a way to automate/link this text statement so that it will update whenever a figure is added or deleted? |

Updating "figure reference" in a document
Yes - insert a cross-reference.

Thanks. Is there a quick way to update these cross-references when they
change? "Jen" wrote: Yes - insert a cross-reference. "John2502" wrote: I've created a training guide that contains a number of graphics which I have labelled as figure 1, figure 2, etc...

Updating "figure reference" in a document
Trying to remember...I believe they update automatically, but you can always
select and click F9 to update. "John2502" wrote: Thanks. Is there a quick way to update these cross-references when they change? "Jen" wrote: Yes - insert a cross-reference.

Updating "figure reference" in a document
You can always select the whole document (Ctrl+A) then F9, this will do all
your captions, references, and any tables as well, in one go. DeanH "John2502" wrote: Cool. Thanks for your help.
