References won't insert
I have a doc on Windows XP with Word 2002. I just started
having problems inserting references to some of the headings, figures, tables, and custom items. When I select Insert|Reference|Cross-reference all the figures, tables, etc. are present in the list box. However, when I select one and press the insert button the button goes down but nothing gets inserted. They don't all fail - inserting works on some of the cross-references but not on others. TIA Greg Reese |

Do you have Field Codes set to View (Tools | Options, View)? Is it possible
you just can't see some of them? On 4/22/05 6:53 AM, "Greg Reese" wrote: I have a doc on Windows XP with Word 2002.

This is a response to Daiya's comment because I can't post
a reply to it directly. No, I didn't have field codes set to view. I just tried it though and that won't work. It makes the field appear instead of the contents, e.g., for the INCLUDETEXT field you see the field code instead of the text it should be including. I would think too that if this were the problem none of the fields would appear instead of just some of them. Thanks though. -----Original Message----- I have a doc on Windows XP with Word 2002.

Are some of your figure/table captions in text boxes? Word can't "see" text
in text boxes. -- Suzanne S.

No, none of them are in text boxes. I just tried inserting
a reference to a chapter. It works for Chapter 7 and Chapter 11, but not 8, 9, or 10! -----Original Message----- Are some of your figure/table captions in text boxes?

All of these headings are in one of Word's built-in heading styles? Or are
bookmarked in some way? -- Suzanne S.

The headings are in built-in styles, though I believe I
changed the font size. The figures and table captions are what Word inserts. I then apply a style to them but I think that also just changes the font size.

Note that if you insert a caption for a wrapped graphic, it will be in a
text box. If all your figures and tables are inline, then this will not be an issue. -- Suzanne S.
