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

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,
I had to change the computer so my document that I developed in

Word
2000 I have to continue with Word 2003.

My problem: I want to make cross-references to figures and tables,

but
when I use: Insert-Reference-Cross-Reference-Tabell then the

"table
for which caption" is empty. This is also for Figures. That worked

in
W2000.
Question what is the reason that the table is empty



I'm not quite sure I understand, but if you made a custom category for
your captions, these are stored in the registry (at least this was so in
Word 2000). If my guess is correct, try making one new caption and see
whether your category is there. If not, you have to set it up again. You
can make a new caption and delete it right afterwards. From now on and
on this computer, you should be able to make cross-references to this
category.


I don't have time to make all the adaptations as e.g. styles, I

just
want to finsih with the document as if I were on W2000. How can I

take
all adaptations and copy into the normal template?



Again it is hard for me to see what you are asking: If you have worked
with styles in Word 2000, those will still be present in your document
now. And they will look the same, too, unless you have Tools | Templates
and Add-ins: "Automatically update document styles" checked.

And check that you have Tools | Options | Compatibility: "Recommended
Options for" set to "MS Word 2000" (which probably already is when you
take a document from an older version).

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.
