Repeated Captions

In a word document. 

How do you repeat a figure but retain the caption from earlier in the document?

It is too far away in page number from the original to return to it and I do not want to give it a new caption number. 

Thankyou

Click References > Cross-Reference. In the "Reference type" box, select Figure. In the "For which caption" box, select the figure you want to repeat. In the "Insert reference to" box, select "Entire caption". Check or clear the "Insert as hyperlink" box as you prefer. Click OK.

The cross-reference will have Normal style. If you want it to look like the original caption, apply the Caption style.
