I'm using Word for Mac 16.24. I followed this excellent blog post to set up decent-looking equations in my Word docs, however I have an issue that it doesn't address. If I surround the equation number in parentheses, Word automatically assumes the opening parenthesis is the label and so instead of e.g., '1', I get '(1' for my cross reference. It's easy enough to delete this on a case-by-case basis, but when I update the references, all the cross-references are replaced with the versions with a leading parenthesis. For the time being, I've resorted to removing the parentheses from the captions, however I'd really like to have them there, as many (most?) publishers require them. The only alternative I can think of right now is to write a macro that updates references and then replaces all of the reference texts with the correct, parenthesis-less version.
