| 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.

I used EndNote Plus and the EndNote Plus Plug-In module with Microsoft
Word 5.0 and it worked flawlessly. With the Plug-In module I controlled 
and formatted the in-line citations and the reference list and with the
application I built the figure and table numbering in the text and in
the table of contents.
