Word2000-->2003, Can not cross-reference to Tables and Figures

[Botkyrka; a part of Europe]

Thanks Robert for your prompt answer!

it was a good ideea to set Word2000 compatiblity! That solved more
problems than I have seen. (I did not see this feature!).

My cross-references:

I made a new table with caption and the caption responded to the
cross-reference.
Is this registry in the file? I have a lot of captions so if I could
avoid re-doing I would be happy.

Best regards
Georg

Hi Georg

You're welcome!

I'm talking about the Windows registry. But once you have setup one
caption in the way you want it, it should be there again. So, to inspect
this properly: Hit Alt-F9 once and inspect the field codes of your
captions (which aren't more than SEQ fields: look these up in Help). I
suspect there's a difference between your old and new caption field
codes. If you have identified that, a decent Search/Replace might work
to correct the old ones.

And a common source of caption problems is if you change langugage
versions of Word. The problem is not only that caption labels don't
travel with the document but also that different Word versions have
different default labels and different associated SEQ field
identifiers.
