I want to refer to two figures, for example say "in Figures 1 and 2..." when
I use cross-reference, there seems to be no way rather than writting "in
Figure 1 and Figure 2...."

I tried to delete second "Figure" manually, but when I update the field it
comes back.

Any suggestions?

thank you

You could manually add a bookmark around the numbers and then cross-reference
the bookmark text.

"The brilliant way" is certainly... well, brilliant. :-)

I find that redefining the hidden bookmark ("the kludgy workaround") isn't as
reliable in Word 2007 as it used to be in earlier versions.

To be more specific: I have noticed, at least once, that the Bookmark dialog box
cannot be used to uniquely locate (the name of) the hidden bookmark at the
insertion point. I haven't made any thorough tests after I updated Office to the
most recent service pack, though.

My experience with using the Bookmark dialog to find these bookmarks is that
you have to not only check the box for "Hidden bookmarks" but also select
the radio button for "Location" rather than "Name."

Yes, those are the steps I'm using too. But, as I wrote, they didn't seem to
work at one instance. Unfortunately, I don't recall the exact circumstances.
