You can insert a cross-reference to a captioned table. Clicking on the

to Table. A list of captioned tables will be shown in

panel; select the one you want to reference.

4) In the

Format

pane, choose how the cross reference will appear.

• Page creates a reference of the page number that the caption

appears on.

• Chapter places a reference to the chapter number in which

the caption appears. This will only produce an empty space

unless you have setup your chapter headings with outline

level paragraph styles.

• Reference inserts the entire caption's category, number and

caption text as a reference.

• Above/Below inserts “above” or “below” depending on

whether the table appears above or below the cross-reference.

• As Page Style creates a reference of the page number that

the caption appears on using the page style format.

• Category and Number creates a cross-reference with only

the caption's category and number; for example, Table 1 for

the first table.

5) Click Insert to add the cross-reference and click Close to exit the

dialog box.
