Self-updating references to images or graphs

if I talk in the text about a particular image graph or table e.g.: "...see table 5", how do I format the "table 5" so it automatically updates, if I insert further tables and "table 5" becomes "table 7"?
Thanks

RE: self-updating references to images or graphs

Hi Andrea

Thank you for your question.

What you are referring to here is using captions and cross references in your document.

Captions are typically inserted underneath the table or figure in your text. To insert a caption:

1. Select the item you want to add a caption to.
2. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Caption.
3. In the Label list, select the item for which you want Microsoft Word to insert a caption.
4. Select any other options you want.

Once you have inserted captions, you can then insert cross-references to captioned items in your text.

To do this:
1. On the Insert menu, point to Reference, and then click Cross-reference.
2. In the Reference type box, click the type of item you want to refer to

Here's how to you can find more shortcut key combinations:

1. Look up shortcuts in Help - this should bring up a link to the Keyboard Shortcuts topic.

2. Word has a built-in macro that you can run which will produce a list of all Word's shortcut keys that you can then print.

To access the macro, go to Tools - Macro - Macros. Use the dropdown arrow next to Macros in: to select Word commands.

Scroll down the list under Macro names and select ListCommands, then click Run.

Click OK. A document listing shortcut keys should be generated for you, which you can print for future reference.
