*****> To my embarassment, i've discovered that Word 5 can do what you
want via Linking. I say "to my embarrassment" because I too
once complained that Word can't auto-update figure/chart/table
references...well, it can. It's amazing what you discover when
you RTFM. (Since I was guilty, this is *not* a flame against
you, more of one against myself, i.e., *I* should have RTFM
before I complained.)
