Word 2007 - cross reference to figure reproduces figure plus capti
I have a problem that seems to have just occurred in Word 2007. I am trying
to you cross reference to give me a figure number. This normally works fine but in the document I have been working on, it has suddenly started copying the figure in addition to the caption and number when I insert a cross reference. I have shut down Word and restarted, rebooted my machine and restarted, and even copied the text up to (but not including) the figures I am trying to reference in to a new, blank document, reproduced the figures in question (Charts from Excel pasted in as Enhanced Metafile pictures) but the problem persists. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? I have also just noticed, in my newly created document, the cross reference labels for the figures that give rise to this problem begin with a forward slash (i.e. "/Figure 3..." etc). If anyone has any idea of how to get rid of this behaviour, I would really appreciate it as I must admit, I am stumped... With best wishes, Boris. |

Word 2007 - cross reference to figure reproduces figure plus capti
Just some extra info...
I have just created a new blank document, copied the two charts that are causing all my grief in to this document as Enhanced Metafiles, added a bland caption to each and then tried to cross reference to them... Again, the cross reference copies the chart as well as label and number! And again the figures are preceded by a forward slash ("/") in the cross-reference dialogue box. So, perhaps it is something specific to these two charts? Any ideas anyone? Please please? Many thanks and best wishes, Boris.

Word 2007 - cross reference to figure reproduces figure plus c
One more piece of information...
I have checked the fields that have been inserted by the cross-reference for these two charts (stacked bar charts with two ordinate axes and one series formatted as a line) and other charts than I pasted in as Microsoft Excel Object for which the cross reference works as expected. The format of these (ie those that work and those that also copy the pasted graphic and therefore do not work) is exactly the same: {REF_Refsomenumber\h} or {REF-Refsomenumber\p\h} when cross referencing above \ below rather than "only label and number"... As some of the charts copied in as pictures worked as expected before, but no longer appear to, I suspect something has happened with the way Word puts in the (hidden) bookmarks to embedded pictures. I would be pulling my hair out - if I had any left! If anyone has any ideas, I would really appreciate it. Best wishes, Boris. "Boris" wrote: Just some extra info...

My friend
it is so simple You must have the same style as your caption on your figure click on your figure and check its style and change it to normal or whatever your style is. cross reference works on style and picks up the figure and its caption as one item because they have the same style Good luck |
