how to format a cross reference?
You could create a _character_ style that applies blue font. You will then
have to apply that character style to all your cross-references. Tip: before inserting a cross-reference, select your special character style. Insert the cross-reference. Then press Ctrl+Spacebar to return to the underlying paragraph style before you continue typing.

how to format a cross reference?
Word suppresses the Hyperlink character style formatting on some hyperlinks
that it inserts, including cross-references and TOC entries. You can apply this formatting manually, perhaps as a different character style, but you can't achieve it through the Hyperlink style (which Word will very likely reapply when you update the REF fields). -- Suzanne S.

insert one. "Lene Fredborg" wrote: You could create a _character_ style that applies blue font. You will then have to apply that character style to all your cross-references.

how to format a cross reference?
You need a macro to apply the blue color automatically. The macro must be
named "InsertCrossReference" in order to run instead of the built-in command whenever you select Insert Reference Cross-reference. The macro below should do what you want. It applies the same blue color as used for hyperlinks (wdColorBlue). See the comments in the code for an explanation of what happens. Sub InsertCrossReference() Dim oRange As Range Dim oColor_Old As WdColor Set oRange = Selection.Range 'Save current font color oColor_Old = oRange.Characters(1).Font.Color 'Diaplay cross-reference dialog box Dialogs(wdDialogInsertCrossReference).Show 'Include the inserted cross-reference in oRange oRange.End = Selection.End 'Apply blue color to oRange oRange.Font.Color = wdColorBlue 'Reset color after cross-reference Selection.Font.Color = oColor_Old Set oRange = Nothing End Sub For information about installing macros, see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "Shari from Karkur" wrote: What I wanted to do was to AUTOMATICALLY have xrefs be colored blue when I insert one.

how to format a cross reference?
Thank-you!
This, together with another fix (communicated by mail) really solves my problem. (You told me to replace the line: Dialogs(wdDialogInsertCrossReference).Show with the following lines: With Dialogs(wdDialogInsertCrossReference) .InsertAsHyperLink = True .Show End With ...in order to ensure that the "Insert as Hyperlink" check box is always selected.)
