how to cross reference multiple but sequential captioned figures
That is rather a drawback, isn't it? The solution is to change the hyphen to
an en dash (which is preferred by many typographers, anyway). In the Caption Numbering dialog, when you check the box for "Include chapter number," the dropdown list for "Use separator" becomes available, and one of the options (the last one) is an en dash. There is actually a Unicode character called a "Figure Dash," that looks to me just a hair longer than an en dash. It is included only in "large" fonts such as Arial Unicode MS, however, and in any case you can't select it through the Caption Numbering dialog. -- Suzanne S.

Hello I realise this is an old post, but have a problem relating to it, so i figured this is the best place for it. I have been using the solution offered by Suzanne, and it works fine. However... If the figure captions are composed of a section-number arrangement (i.e. figure 2-5 etc...) then the reference comes back as the sum of the two numbers (returns 7 as opposed to 5-2) is there a simple way to avoid this? i've had to resort to the 'kludgy' workaround for now but would appreciate a more elegant solution, if anyone has one! Thanks Mat "xppuser" wrote: hi all, wxp pro sp2, word 2003, i have some figures that i have labelled using built-in caption function in word 2003. in the text, i have used the Insert - Cross-reference - Figures (with hyperlink) e.g. "Figure 2 showed the result diagrammatically..." where clicking on Figure 2 in-text will bring me to the actual Figure 2. I am wondering how to insert cross-reference of multiple but sequential figures e.g. Figure 9-12 in the text? Would anyone be able to advice me? Thank you, jes |
