That was easy. Thanks so much.

Insert a cross reference to the figure. You will have to update the fields
if you make any changes. The simplest way to do that is with a macro - see

Wow, sorry bad typing:

2nd paragraph should read:

The equations and figures use fields that update and I would like my
references in the text body to update along with them so that if I
say "In figure 2 one can see ..." and figure 2 become figure 3 after
the addition of a new figure earlier in the text, my TEXT body will
NOW say "In figure 3 one can see ..."

not say "In figure 3 one can see ..."

How would I do this?

I have tried copying the field but this just results in the text
saying "In figure 2 one can see ..." while forcing the figure to
become figure 3.

Thanks
