I have MS Word document which contains around 50 images with caption.
My problem is if I am inserting images in between (say inserting image after image 21) then the image is not taking the caption on its own(new image must be inserted with caption 22).
I need to manually update number for all the images after the newly added image. Can I automate it?
Should update the figure caption automatically.
My question is tho, how can one also 'assign' referenced figures '(Fig.4)' in the text to do the same thing - aka change when an image is added above it?
EDIT: Figured it out.. In word go to Insert and Cross-ref and assign the ref. Then Ctrl+A and F9 and everything should sort itself out.
Office 2007
Right click the figure, select Insert Caption, Select Numbering, check box next to 'Include chapter number', select OK, Select OK again, then you figure identifier should be updated.
