My Table numbers keep changing as I add more tables to my doc.....
I have a lengthy document that contains about 30 Tables (Table 1 - Table 30).
I keep adding new tables to my document and then I have to change the table titles that follow. Within the text of my document, I often refer to the tables. For example I may say see "Table 14 for a breakup of sales". I would like the 14 to automatically switch when the title in the table it refers to changes. Changing everything is turning out to be quite time consuming. Any way I can automate this through hyperlink, bookmarking, or cross-referencing? Please Help!!! Thanks AC |

Yes, you can automate that.
First, you need to let Word number the tables. Probably using Insert | Caption is easiest. Then instead of typing Table 14, use a cross-reference (Insert | Cross-Reference) to the table. You will need to hit F9 to update the cross-references when the numbers change. On 1/25/05 1:21 PM, "AC" wrote: I have a lengthy document that contains about 30 Tables (Table 1 - Table 30).

G'day "AC" ,
Each table gets labelled with a style like Table Caption. It is an autonumbering style. Bookmark each one, for example Sale_Jan, Sales_Feb and so on. No you can insert crossreferences to those bookmarks and refer to the paragraph number.
