I develop large documents. I have been working with cross references for many
years. Cross rerencing is a bind - I would like to use them more but the cost
benefit is not worth it. It seems as if little effort is put into improving
them with each new version of Word (I use 03)
Suggestions
-a much larger dialogue box
-base the finding of the reference you want to cross refer to on the
document map. This will enable you to search more easily eg you can go to a
section then expand it to the sub heading or section you want
-retain where you started from so you do not have to start from scratch each
time you start a new cross ref
-- a button on the inserted cross reference to go back to the original as
well as go to the cross reference (you could do this on some previous
versions of Word)
- make the cross references more resilient so they are retained after
significant editing of the document
There are other suggestions but these are the main ones
Thanks
