How to automatically update the reference and cross-reference in MS Word?

I know we can highlight certain content, and right click on the "grey" caption and number to "update field", so that the reference/cross-reference within the highlighted area will be updated. However, this cannot be achieved when the entire document is selected for a long document with many figures and tables. So I am now updating it section by section.

So is there a quicker way to update the reference/cross-reference in one go, or can I ask why sometimes the "update field" is not available?

You can use CTRL+A followed by F9 for that purpose.
