Working in ms word, give caption to figures(auto-numbered), how one can relate the fig number with text?

ok, i put a figure and caption it in MS word. i mention something about that figure writing "the figure # shows.......". Now i put another figure before that figure( suppose figure 4), i have to change the sequence of number for fig 4 the in text, as it should be now figure 5. The captions being autonumbered changes but i have to go through all the document to change the numbers written in text. How can one correlate the caption number with the the number written in text, so that every time caption number changes the figure number in text also changes??

This works in Word XP(2002) and probably adjacent versions.
