How to carry user-defined fig./eq. labels in a MS word file toanother computer
Hi,
I wrote a paper using MSWord 2003 on my office computer, in which I defined some figure, equation, and table labels (from Insert-- Caption--New Label). I then transferred the word file to a different computer, and opened it to expect these defined labels to be there (Insert--Cross Reference --(user-defined labels)). But they are not. As a result, I had to re-define all these labels on the new computer. Granted that the second computer has MSWord 2000, I don't think different versions of MS Word is the culprit. Does anybody know what I should do in the computer where I defined these figure/table/equation labels so that when I work on a different computer, these user-defined labels would come along? Thanks a lot for your help. |

How to carry user-defined fig./eq. labels in a MS word file to another computer
Hi EngrByDayPianstByNight,
I wrote a paper using MSWord 2003 on my office computer, in which I defined some figure, equation, and table labels (from Insert-- Caption--New Label). I then transferred the word file to a different computer, and opened it to expect these defined labels to be there (Insert--Cross Reference --(user-defined labels)). But they are not. As a result, I had to re-define all these labels on the new computer. Granted that the second computer has MSWord 2000, I don't think different versions of MS Word is the culprit. Does anybody know what I should do in the computer where I defined these figure/table/equation labels so that when I work on a different computer, these user-defined labels would come along? Unfortunately, such labels aren't stored in the document (or its template), so they don't go with the document. As I recall, they're stored in the Normal.dot template. Whether it would be feasible for you to move the Normal.dot to a different computer with an *older* version of Word is questionable. Best would probably be to save a macro in your document that can recreate the labels for you.
