Updating "figure reference" in a document

[John2502]

I've created a training guide that contains a number of graphics which I have
labelled as figure 1, figure 2, etc... I used Insert / Reference / Caption
for each figure so the numbering will automatically adjust whenever one is
added or deleted. In referring to each figure, the text of the document
contains the following; see figure xx.
Is there a way to automate/link this text statement so that it will update
whenever a figure is added or deleted?

Yes - insert a cross-reference.

 

[John2502]

Thanks. Is there a quick way to update these cross-references when they
change?

Trying to remember...I believe they update automatically, but you can always
select and click F9 to update.

Cool. Thanks for your help.

You can always select the whole document (Ctrl+A) then F9, this will do all
your captions, references, and any tables as well, in one go.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.
