This type of question seems to come up a lot.  Word 6.0 has built-in
facilities for handling this sort of thing.  For earlier versions, (for
certain 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1) there is a shareware product called "Word-Ref"
that is available from info-mac.  It works wonderfully, and allows cross
referencing of Equations, Tables, Figures, Page Numbers, etc.  etc.  It
also handles bibliographic references.  I'm a very satisfied
(registered) user.

There is also a popular commerical product that does the same thing,
but I won't plug it because I have never used it.
