References to multiple docs

[Jolene]

Hi

I am trying to cross-reference figures and tables from different documents
in the current doc. I tried using the RD command, but it seems that only
works for toc's. Could someone please tell me how to do this?

Thanks!

The RD field should work for tables and figures as well. Did you include
double back slashes in the file paths? For example:

{RD "C:\\MyDocs\\Figures.doc"}

Yes, I have. Could it be that I should include that code in every section of
the doc?

No, the RD fields only need to appear once. Have you verified you can create
a TOC for the tables and figures in one of your supporting documents?

Try that and if it works you can copy/paste the field code to the document
you are using to compile the TOCs.
