in fact is there *any* dtp system that allows symbolic referencing
other than FullWrite - and is still WYSIWYG (ie not LaTeX..)

========================

Well, Nisus 2.11 gives you cross-references in the text (i.e. you reference
a place such as "Page 25 para 3" and then you do some editing that moves
the referenced point.  When you look at the reference, you get "Page 32 para 1".
They also have a "Update Figure Number" macro with the distribution, so I am
guessing it would not be too hard to update references to figure numbers.
(I only got Nisus 2 days ago, so I haven't had a chance to try writing macros).
