At the beginning of the source the LaTeX for a document, I have the following:

\documentstyle[12pt]{article}
\renewcommand{\theequation}{\thesection.\arabic{equation}}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\thesection.\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\thesection.\arabic{table}}

In Section 3, I have a figure and a table that are labelled with
a \label{xxx} command. In the figure and table captions and in the
list of figures and list of tables, the numbering is correct (3.1)
but when \ref{xxx} is used it produces only a 3 (i.e. the .1 is  missing).
Does anyone have a fix for this?

I do not read this newsgroup so please reply directly to me.
