Linking to a Field
Greetings,
I've inherited a Word document in which a figure is shown on one page, and a list of the parts that make it up is shown on the page. The figure caption uses the SEQ field command: SEQ Figure_6- \* ARABIC And so each figure in this section shows up as 6-1, 6-2, etc. No problems so far. The parts list on the next page refers to the figure, so the parts list for figure 6-2 would have, before each item, "6-2" Still no problems. We had to add a figure in the early parts of the book and, since the figures were all identified using the SEQ field command, they all updated without problem. The parts lists, however, had their figure numbers in as text, not a field, so I'm looking at having to go down 70 pages of parts lists and updating each line number with a new figure number. I can do a "Highlight the page, do find/replace" 70 times but aside from being darned tedious, it'll have to be repeated if we end up adding another figure. I tried inserting a cross-reference, but none of them gave the option of cross-referencing to the field in the figure. Given the SEQ field command on each figure, is there a way I can link the parts lists to that field so that when the figure number changes, the parts list is updated with it? Is there a field for numbering I can add to the figure (in the way of white, therefore invisible, text) that WILL take a cross-reference? I'm using Word 2003 sp2 in XP. Thanks, Shane |
