Barely. In fact, Word 4 is busy compiling a list of figures in a document of mine as I write this. The figure captions are done by using table-of-contents level 9 as the hidden-text tag.

Now as to referring to figures whose numbers move around a lot, I dunno. I think you'll have to mail merge them.
