Problems cross-referencing equations--508 compliancy

I have read earlier posts about this subject.  I set up my equation label to not include the label, but when cross-referencing an equation, the entire equation and any additional text is inserted (I have to treat the equation as part of a sentence, therefore requiring a comma, period, or ", and") along with the equation number that is located at the right margin in parentheses.

I would like to use the 3x1 table, but I am required to make my document compliant to 508 standards, meaning that I cannot place an equation in a table structure for the purpose of separating the equation from the label.  I've been told very clearly that I cannot do that.

Is there another solution available?

You can display bookmarks in Word (File tab | Options | Advanced: "Show bookmarks"); that would help you tell which captions are already bookmarked when you want to create an additional reference.

You can insert a bookmark manually around the caption number and then insert a cross-reference to bookmark text.
