How to frefer to a figur/table caption in text?
Hello,
I have some figure and table captions in a Word 2007 document. They are inserted by using figure/table caption insert. How can I refer then in the body of text so that if the captions change, the referrals will be updated as well? Thank you. Athena |

With the cursor at the point where you want the reference in the text,
just click the Cross-reference button (in the References ribbon, right next to the Insert Caption button that you should already have used). In the dialog, choose Figure or Table in the left-hand dropdown and select the caption you want to refer to. You also have a choice of what the reference should contain, such as "label and number". If the caption numbers change, the cross-references will need to be updated. The easy way is to go to Print Preview and back (assuming the option to update fields on printing is enabled). Or you can select all the text and press F9. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
