Numbering of equations
I am using WORD2002-SP3, with W2K-SP4
I write equations using the equation editor included in WORD. I want to number these equations automatically. There for I use the insert a "caption" from the "Insert - Reference - Caption" menu. I place this caption at the right edge of the line of the equation using the right tabulation. Thus the "caption is located in the same paragraph as the equation, which is what I want, as I want the equation number to be on the same line as the equation. Note : I defined a "new" label as "[Ed. ". The caption is thus not a "standard" caption. It works fine : the equations are sequentially numbered and the number comes on the right place, at the far-right end of the equation line. The problem comes when I want to reference an equation somewhere in the text : I use the menu item "Insert - Reference - Cross reference" and then choose the correct equation in the list. Whatever I ask to insert ("Entire caption" / "Only label and number" / "Only caption text") the whole line gets inserted, i.e. the complete equation, the caption label and the equation number. Can anyone give me a hint on how to insert only the equation number and not the whole line (paragraph ?). Thank you in advance. Jean-Pierre |

Numbering of equations
Unfortunately, Word inserts the caption bookmark around the whole paragraph.
The only way to avoid this (short of getting MathType) is to put the equation and its caption in the left and right cells of a single-row, two-column borderless table. If you save a sample table (with dummy equation and caption) as an AutoText entry, it is fairly trivial to insert. -- Suzanne S.

Numbering of equations
I tried the idea, placing a dummy equation and caption in a table (2 col, 1
line, borderless) and defining it in an autotext entry. Borders were deleted through the menu "Format / Borders and shadings / Borders - none " . The whole table (including the paragraph mark) was selected before doing so However, when I insert a new such "table", the dummy equation number increases, which is correct, but the new table is inserted WITH borders. Can it be avoided, or do I have to delete the borders every time ? Jean-Pierre ========================= "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Numbering of equations
If you're in Word 2002 or 2003, instead of just removing the borders (before
creating your AutoText entry), try applying the Table Normal table style (instead of Table Grid). If this doesn't help, a quick shortcut to remove table borders is Ctrl+Alt+U (or use the No Borders button on the Borders flyout on the Formatting toolbar). If you're not using any bordered tables elsewhere in the document, you might want to select Table Normal as the default table AutoFormat for your document (Table | Table AutoFormat | Table Normal: Default...). -- Suzanne S.

Thank you very much for the procedure. I try it soon.
