Customizing a Figure Cross Reference?
Fellow Forum Members,
When I do a Cross Reference, Reference Type: set to "Figure" and Insert reference to: set to "Only label and number" the result I get is a field that looks like this: Figure 3-64. How or where do I customize this field so that the type always appears in BOLD BLUE (to indicate that it's a Hyperlink when I PDF it) and with paranthesis so that it looks like this: (Figure 3-64). ? I have looked all over WORD 2003 and I can't find a place that will let me control the formatting a cross reference appears with. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Customizing a Figure Cross Reference?
Adding parentheses is easy. First, display field codes, for example by
pressing Alt+F9. Then use Edit | Replace: Find what: ^d REF Replace with: (^&) Click Alt+F9 again to hide field codes. To apply the formatting, you could try a macro such as the following: Sub FormatRefFields() Dim f As Field For Each f In ActiveDocument.Fields If f.Type = wdFieldRef Then f.Code.Text = f.Code.Text & " \* CHARFORMAT" f.Code.Font.Bold = True f.Code.Font.Color = wdColorBlue f.Update End If Next f End Sub -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "binar" wrote in message ...
