Thanks Richard,
I started the LOF with the <$paranum> and then started looking for
alternatives that started this chain of communications. (Very
educational-BTW)
I have gone back to where I started from with the numbered figures. I
actually do cross reference by them all through the book.
Thanks

I use IXgen for indexing and love it. I just completely spaced out that
you can automagically create markers (any kind) from/for all instances
of a pgf format. Sorry, Frank!
Pete, IXgen will not only solve your problem quickly and easily, it'll
make many index-related tasks far, far easier, too. I highly recommend
it.
Although if I were you, my first priority would be adding <$paranum> to
the LOF spec. I'm really surprised you aren't including the number
already. I don't think I've ever seen a list of numbered figures that
didn't include the number. You cross-reference them by number, don't
you? ("See Figure 3-2")
