Link text (eg. "See Table 5") to table caption number in Word?

[gadamson1]

I would like to refer to tables and figures, by their caption number, within
the text of my document and have these links automatically update if I
add/delete/move the tables and their captions around later. For example,
text may say "...see Table 7 for a list of ingredients...", and the number
"7" is a link to the caption for table 7. If I move table 7 later, Word will
update the table number in the caption, and I would like it to update it in
the text reference as well so that I don't have to do this manually.
I'd appreciate any help on this, thanks.

If you have used the Insert | Reference | Caption feature to insert the
captions, then use Insert | Reference | Cross-reference to insert the
cross-references. They won't update entirely automatically but will update
when fields are updated (at print time, for example).
