Renumbering SEQ fields after reorganizing document
(Working in Word 2007).
I've created numerous illustrations in a document, and after inserting and selecting each image I used Right-click Insert Caption. So far, so good. After I reorganized the document, based on information found in (old) MVP posts, I selected all (Ctrl+A) and pressed F9 in the hope of updating all fields, including the "SEQ Figure..." fields created by Insert Caption feature. Contrary to expectation, although Ctrl+A did in fact highlight all the captions' fields, they were not renumbered. WORKAROUND: (Totally unsatisfactory) Manually select the caption number of each and every figure that was relocated, and press F9. Questions: 1) Is there a way to make this work as expected? 2) If not through the GUI, how can this be done using a macro? Thank you. |

Renumbering SEQ fields after reorganizing document
Pressing Ctrl+A, F9 should be working. I'm wondering if there's something in
your document that's preventing it. What happens if you select from the beginning of the document to intermediate points? Does Ctrl+A, F9 work then? If so, I would try to gradually expand the selection to determine where it's breaking down. I've tried a number of different scenarios here, and haven't been able to make it NOT work correctly. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "JLAR" wrote in message ...
