When I insert a cross reference to the caption of a linked Excel chart, the
cross reference inserts the chart as well as 'Figure 6' or whatever. I can
delete the chart from the cross reference, but when I print the document it
comes back again.

I can't see anything in the field codes causing this, though there is a /*
MERGEFORMAT switch that I don't recognise

I have a bunch of these linked charts in the document, and not all of them
behave like this. It doesn't happen with spreadsheet data that I have linked
to the Word doc, only the charts.
