I'm writing a report at the moment and using figure legends and subsequent references to the figures in the text, i.e. 'see figure x for this'
I'm not writing the report in order (well not in temporal order, it is in spatial order) nor am I inserting the figures into the document in order. This leaves me with a problem when I refer to a figure as I dont know what number to refer to as I may insert a new one earlier in the document.
Is it possible for me to have a dynamically updating reference in the text which is linked to the figure legend, so when I am finished with the document I could just run through and number the figures and all the figure references (in the main body of the report) would automatically update?
A similar thing is done in the pages table of contents thing where if you change the title of a heading in the body of the report it changes in the table of content.
Any help is much appreciated.
