Command + A, then Command + F9
Select the whole text of the document, and update fields
The caption function creates captions out of SEQ fields. These are
extremely reliable, but they are "Cold" fields that will update only when
you select them and "Update Fields".
You can build your captions with LISTNUM fields if you like. LISTNUM fields
are "Hot" fields that will update dynamically. But you have to enter them
manually or use an AutoText to put them in.
I always use LISTNUM fields because they update automatically. But if you
have other people working on the document it is not such a good idea to use
them, because unless the other users know the captions have been done with
LISTNUMs, they can break them.
If you want to use them, get back to me and I will explain exactly how.
Hope this helps
Word 2008. I have figures with captions that are numbered. If I
move the figures, so they are in a different order, how do you
renumber them?
In this forum are some answers for older versions of Word, they don't
seem to work.
