There is a program in the info-mac archives called word-ref (the current
version is 1.3 it think) which does this stuff in a more automatic
manner, creating the merge file for you based upon the document in
question. I've used this for a paper at a conference and people were
generally very happy with my ability to do this. I've also defined
glossary items for placing a template for figure references and table
references and merge definitions into the document without having to type
them. While it would be much better if Word would include something
automatic like this in the next version (ha-ha), at least this works.
BTW, it also does bibliographies but I use endnote (niles & acssoc) which
I think is a great program for references.
