Some captions of “Equation” type fails to appear in the cross-reference list,



In the screenshot below (the docx file s also attached), some captions of “Equation” type fails to appear in the cross-reference list.

What could be the issue here?

[Stefan Blom]

In the Cross-reference dialog box, you will only see those captions for which there is a caption label defined in Word. Some of the numbers in your sample document use { SEQ Equation } while others use { SEQ ( }. "Equation" is a default caption label in English language versions of Word, while "(" is not.

Note that you can always enclose a caption or caption number in a bookmark and then insert a cross-reference to bookmark text.

Thank you for the answer.

But from which setting { SEQ Equation } and { SEQ ( } is controlled?

[Stefan Blom]

You can add "(" as a caption label via the Caption dialog box. Use the New Label button (seen in your screen shot).

Not sure how to insert the left bracket “(“ in the “caption dialogue box.

[Stefan Blom]

Use the New Label dialog box to add "(" as a caption label. It will be saved to the Normal template (this is true for all caption labels). See the attached screen shot.

Why are you explaining how to add a label that was clearly a mistaken attempt at adding brackets to the equation number? You already gave the OP the correct answer in their other question.

The OP's sample file also includes a SEQ field in which "(" is being used as an identifier. Often it helps to have the identifier as a caption label as well, for the purpose of creating cross-references for example.

I covered the addition of brackets around numbers in the other thread at https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...-brackets.html.
