Adding cross-references to figure _numbers_?
Hi,
I want to make cross-reference to figure numers only, how can I do this? I do not want to have "Figure" text to appear when I make a cross-reference. In example: "You can see from figure 1 something...." img Figure 1 Something... This is more usefull in non english languages where you must use different way of writing. Like in finnish: "Näet kuvassa 1 jotakin..." img Kuva 1 Something Please note the difference between 'Kuva' and 'kuvassa'. It is a bit frustrating to write manually those references as there is always that one wrongly written. Thanks, Vesa Jääskeläinen |

It's a bit finicking but can be done.
1. You must insert the cross-reference first. This creates the bookmark around the figure label. 2. Then go to the figure caption and select just the number. 3. Open the Insert | Bookmark dialog. Check the box for "Hidden bookmarks" and select the radio button for "Location." 4. The bookmark that is highlighted is the bookmark for your figure caption. Clicking add will reapply the bookmark to just the selected text (the figure number). 5. Go back to the cross-reference and press F9 to update it. -- Suzanne S.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply! It seems to work, but is a bit strange place for this  .If there are any Word developers reading these, I really hope that this will be in more intuitive place in future, like an option in "Insert-Reference-Cross-reference" dialogs "Insert reference to" combobox, add something like "Only number" would be clean solution for this.
