Default linking and sequential numbering of tables

Insert Reference Cross Reference Table

This assumes that you used Insert Reference Caption to add a caption to
your table.

hi all,

office 2003 pro sp2, wxp pro sp2,

large documents (300+ pages and increasing) numerous figures and tables. i
wonder whether there is a way to link a mention of the table within the
text
to the table itself. what i mean and what i want to achieve:

for example, the text would say, "...the salient points of the
distribution
can be found in Table 1." what i want to do is to enable a reader when
they
click on Table 1 within the text, to be able to get to Table 1 itself
(which
may be some pages away).

which then brings me to my second want: is there a way to automatically
numbered the tables so that for example if i moved Table 3, 4, and 5 to
below
Table 6, 7, and 8, the table numbering would automatically re-ordered
themselves, and not only that the in-text citations of these tables would
also changed.

manually doing them at the moment and it is slowing down the work speed.
would appreciate help, advice.

thanks,
jes
