Hi Jamal,

After inserting the caption, you can change the space between 'Figure' and '1' (or whatever the number is) to a non-breaking space. Then, when you insert a cross-reference to the caption, the cross-reference text will stay together on one line.

I noticed that you have a series of captions referenced (Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5 and Figure 6). If you would prefer your text to say 'Figures 3-6' or 'Figures 3 to 6':
1. Type the word 'Figures'
2. Insert the first caption's cross-reference
3. Type your ' to ' or '-' separator (note that you can use Ctrl-Shift-Minus) for a non-breaking '-'.
4. Insert the last caption's cross-reference.
5. Select the first caption and press Shift-F9. You should see something like '{REF _Ref290360828 \h}'. Change this to '{REF _Ref290360828 \# 0 \h}', then press F9 to update. You should now see just the caption's number. The '\h' may or may not be there. If it isn't, you don't need to add it.
6. Repeat step 5 for the last caption's cross-reference.
