Cross reference to caption in text box

[scheij]

My document contains jpg images with captions for each. These pairs ar
both inside a text box. I would like to insert a cross reference wit
hyperlink to the "Figure label and number only" into the body text o
the document (outside the textbox). However, the references do no
appear when I try to insert them. Any suggestions to solve this proble
would be appreciated. Thanks

As pointed out in a response to your (?) duplicate question here or
elsewhere, captions in text boxes cannot be cross-referenced (or included in
a List of Figures) because Word does not "see" text in the drawing layer.
There's a button on the Text Box tab of the Format Text Box dialog for
converting the text box to a frame. Once the text is in a frame, you should
be able to insert a cross-reference.
