cross references
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 melthamdave ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Only label and number, or Page number. But in mine documents I often use only number of cross referenced item. So I must add Only label and number and cut the label. So I'll be pleased when you add Only number in "Insert reference to:" pool. - Second is that when you printing document all of cross references are updating. And this happens when you mark Word options-Display-Update fields befopre printing / Update linked data before printing, or you not. Thanks Firley |
