formatting the word 'Figure' in word
Hi,
I am writing a paper with specific requirements for how figures are referenced in the text.If you reference a figure in the middle of the sentence you would say, "See Fig. 2." If it were to start the sentence, you'd say, "Figure 2 shows..." As far as I know, word will only say Figure 2. I have yet to find a way to change this, other than manually editing the word to say Fig. Unfortunately, this formatting is undone if autoupdate is at all used. Any advice/suggestions? Bobby |

Type in "Fig." and use the cross-reference to insert just the figure number
(without the label). Do this by adding the \# 0 switch to the REF field (for more, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/CombineXrefs.htm). -- Suzanne S.
