It's all done automatically if you use figure captions and automatic x-refs. Same for tables. *Never* number them manually or x-ref to them manually. These features make adding, deleting, or moving figures and tables easy.
If you're not sure how to do this, the instructions are somewhere in the Writer Guide and also, I think, in the Contributors Guide. --Jean On Sun, Sep 9, 2012 at 11:13 AM, Jamie Eby <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm updating the Writer Guide and have a newbie question about figures and > figure numbering.
