I think that's wrong. Have you tried it? The \label needs to be in a \caption. --------------------------------- \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \section{test} \section{test} \begin{table} \begin{tabular}{ll} s & l \\ s & ll \end{tabular} \caption{ \label{tab:a-table} blablabla} \end{table} See table~\ref{tab:a-table}. \end{document} --------------------------------- In the example, table 1 is in section 2. The output should say ``See table 1.''. -- Peter Galbraith, research scientist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Maurice Lamontagne Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada P.O.
