Hi,

In my working environment it is quite common to refer to e.g. multiple
figure in one go: "see Figures 1, 2, and 3".
When using the insertcrossreference command in vba I have been able to
change the normal label "Figure" to something short like "[", but this
still results in a cross reference like "[1" (using the
onlyLableAndNumber option).
So what I am asking is this: does anyone have a method that represents
something like "onlyNumber"?
I've done some programming in the past where I bookmarked each figure
number and use these bookmarks for referincing.  Unfortunately keeping
track of all these references when you offer the user a chance to
select the one(s) they want becomes cumbersome.  Microsoft seems to
have done all this already (the
GetCrossReferenceItems/insertcrossreference combination) which is nice
and fast, but it does not offer the option to extract only the number.
Any ideas?
