Self-updating references to images or graphs
if I talk in the text about a particular image graph or table e.g.: "...see table 5", how do I format the "table 5" so it automatically updates, if I insert further tables and "table 5" becomes "table 7"?
Thanks
RE: self-updating references to images or graphs
Hi Andrea
Thank you for your question.
What you are referring to here is using captions and cross references in your document.
Captions are typically inserted underneath the table or figure in your text. To insert a caption:
1. Select the item you want to add a caption to.
2. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Caption.
3. In the Label list, select the item for which you want Microsoft Word to insert a caption.
4. Select any other options you want.
Once you have inserted captions, you can then insert cross-references to captioned items in your text.
To do this:
1. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Cross-reference.
2. In the Reference type box, click the type of item you want to refer to
