how to delete or move captions for tables & figures xppuser 10.07.2006 18:12:01 dear all, office 2003 sp2 and xp pro sp2, i have some 300+ page document with tables and figures. i've used 'caption' function to captioned the tables and figures, and used cross-reference to hyperlink these tables and figures citations within the text to the actual tables and figures themselves, which may be some pages away. i was under the impression (perhaps falsely) that if i moved or deleted any tables or figures the numbering of the remaining tables and figures would re-jig themselves automatically. but that didn't seem to happen. i have moved a couple of figures (the actual figures themselves, not their citations in the text) yet the numbering stayed the same i.e. they are out of sequence. what i have done is to then manually delete the cross-reference entries that hyperlinked to these figures, delete the captioning on the actual figures and re-apply captioning and cross-referencing. this seems to be rather tedious and counter-productive for a supposedly productivity enhancing tools so i think i may not be doing something right. would appreciate help and advice: 1. am i doing it right in handling moving and deleting? 2. if not how can i be done correctly? 3. when i do ctrl and click on the hyperlink, the action takes me to the linked tables/figures, what can i do to go back to the page that contain the hyperlink that i just clicked on (short of having to remember the page, then using goto page option)? thanks for your help, jes

Edit > Select all and F9 to update fields. Your Q 3 - the Web toolbar Back button will take you back, or you could use Shift-F5 to go back to last cursor position. -- Margaret Aldis - Microsoft Word MVP Syntagma partnership site: http://www.syntagma.co.uk Word MVP FAQ site: http://www.word.mvps.org "xppuser" <xppuser[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1CC46DD3-A428-4394-B515-339898CA2F52[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: how to delete or move captions for tables & figures xppuser 11.07.2006 12:36:02 thanks for the tips, select all and update fields using F9 works. i just have one comment and one question. comment: the only thing that is a little bit strange was the shift+F5 to go back. when i pressed shift+F5 once, it advances the cursor some spaces forward. if i then press the shift+F5 again, i am back to where i was at before i did Ctrl+click. otherwise shift+F5 seems to be what i am looking for unless: one question: how can i get just the web toolbar back button (but not the rest that appear when i chosse View -> Toolbars -> Web) to be displayed on my word toolbar? so that i can use this as an alternative to (shift+F5) x2. thanks, jes

Re: how to delete or move captions for tables & figures "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 11.07.2006 13:31:24 Shift+F5 cycles through the last three edit points. If you've moved the insertion point even a few characters while editing, then Shift+F5 is not going to be helpful in getting back where you ultimately started. With the Tools | Customize dialog open and the Web toolbar displayed, you can Ctrl+drag to copy the Back button to any other toolbar. -- Suzanne S.
