Thanks for the tip - looks like this is one sweetie the people at work
won't get...
The answer I found is:
"That particular dialog is known to be very buggy when you try to
control it from VBA. Expect problems. (see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;209668 for one
such bug.) SendKeys is likely to be your only reliable option.
(Don't mean to be a Gloomy Gus here, but I wasted a lot of time trying
to customize that dialog myself some time ago.)

Thanks for saving me a LOT of time!

Try posting at Woody's Lounge if you don't get the answer you're
looking for here. Woody Leonard has written many a book about Word,
appears at M$ seminars, and is noted Word guru.

Hi All,
Below my question is a macro I've recorded. My question:
I want this
macro to merely open the Cross Reference dialog box,
with it pre-set to
insert a Figure with the Only Label and Number option
selected. The user
would then select the figure number, insert the ref and
close the dialog
box.
Is there a way to modify this macro for the above
desired action? My
attempts have failed.
Thanks in advance,
Deborah

ReferenceType:="Figure",

wdOnlyLabelAndNumber, ReferenceItem:="1",
