Sample Type
NOTE: I’ve used the “Insert Caption” command on the “References” tab of the ribbon to
add the caption here. It automatically adds the chapter number to the caption, and will
renumber the caption if I move it to another position in the document.

Results
4.1. Fracture Toughness
4.2. Fatigue Testing
As shown in Table 3.1 (with hyperlink) or Table 3.1 (without hyperlink) or Table 3.1
(typed as plain text)…
NOTE: The first and second “Table 3.1” cross-references were inserted with the “CrossReference” command on the “References” tab of the ribbon. When you use this
command, you have the option of inserting them with or without a hyperlink. When
converting to PDF, only the one with a hyperlink will have a hyperlink.
If you change the numbering of Table 3.1, only the items inserted using the “CrossReference” command will update automatically to the new and correct table number.
