Well, one learns something new every day :-). I didnât even know about the âInsert Captionâ feature. And this method does indeed work more easily than my manual insert field process. And best of all: if one creates a New Label, the label magically appears in the Reference Type dropdown of the Insert Cross Reference dialog box :-).
Thanks, Lin!
