  • Link figure caption to body text

    Posted by Kevin Stube on November 19, 2008 at 6:35 pm

    On a large document we have many figures automatically numbered such as figure F.2. These figures are mentioned throughout the hundreds of pages of text, is there a way to automatically link the figure number to the reference in the body of the text.

    This is really important because if we insert a new figure, the captions renumber automatically, but the references don’t and same thing if we move a figure.

    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Solution found, in CS4, this is a new feature, in older versions, it must be scripted in.

    Go to the body text where you want to insert link of figure then go to the menu bar insert/reference/cross-reference.
