Over the past year or so many of us have clamored for Word
to provide for auto-numbering figures and tables and full
cross-referencing to them, portions of text, footnotes, etc.

Has MS finally provided this capacity within Word 5.1? How
long must we wait for this functionality in Word that is a basic
need for those of us with rather long and graphic works. My
dissertation draft has over 200 tables and figures, and the last
one I moved was around figure number 6, which necessitated manually
renumbering about 150 figures!

My options appear to be:

1. Wait for MS to FINALLY incorporate this feature if it still
does not appear in 5.1.

2. Learn an add-on or workaround like EndNote+ or WordRef to supplement
Word.

3. Switch to a word processor like Framemaker, WordPerfect, or Nisus.
