How do I create a link to a reference in a word document?
I'm writing a thesis at the moment and would like to use captions or
cross-references to insert a "[#]" on my text that would link directly to the list of references. I've tried using insert-cross-reference-bookmark and could not make it work, I also tried adding captions and didn't work either. I've seen a thesis from another student where, if I toggle the fields show: for the inserts in the main text: { REF _Ref113072077 \*MERGEFORMAT } for the list of references: { SEQ Reference \* ARABIC } can someone help me? can you list the steps I need to take? is this supposed to be done as a cross-reference - bookmark or as a caption? Thanks, Ale |

Hi Ale,
I think you want to follow the instructions here, more or less: #6: Endnotes in Alphabetical Order http://word.mvps.org/faqs/formatting/footnotefaq.htm And while setting up the cross-references, be sure to check the "insert as hyperlink" box. The fields you offer sound like the result of that process.

How do I create a link to a reference in a word document?
Hi Ale
You have several options here, and you'll need to work out which is the best for your purposes. For this purpose, one way to proceed is with a bookmark. Type the text of your reference in the list of references (presumably at the end of the document). Select some or all of the reference you've just typed. Do Insert Bookmark and give it a helpful name (eg Smith_History). Now, you have two ways to create a link to the bookmark. The first is to use a cross reference. Click where you want the clickable link, and do Insert Reference Cross Reference. In the Reference Type box, choose Bookmark. And in the "Insert Reference To" box, choose the text you want to appear. That text will be clickable and take you to your bookmarked reference. The second way to link to the bookmark is to use a hyperlink. Type the [#] and select it. Insert Hyperlink. In the left hand panel, click "Place in this Document". Choose your bookmark and click OK. Alternatively, you could use the caption functionality instead of bookmarks (and I suspect this is what you need). The caption functionality is designed to add captions to tables, figures, equations and the like, with a caption such as "Table 1" to which you can add "Population of China" or some such. The caption functionality creates fields like { SEQ Reference \* ARABIC }. You can also add a field like that manually (do ctrl-F9 and then type between the braces that Word gives you). However (and this is where you may have run into trouble), you will only be able to create a cross-reference to these numbers if you do Insert Reference Caption, click the New Label button and create the "Reference" label. If you create a new Label in that way, you can then create a clickable link to your Reference caption using Insert Reference Cross-reference, where you'll now see your Reference label listed as one of the things to which you can refer. None of this is as complicated as I've made it seem! Hope this helps. Shauna Kelly. Microsoft MVP. http://www.shaunakelly.com/word "Ale" wrote in message ...

How do I create a link to a reference in a word document?
Hi
I was just looking for excatcly the same way of doing citations. I have tried to follow the instructions, but when I make a cross reference to the new label I have created, the entire text of the paragraph in which the reference is made goes with the cross reference. How can I prevent this? Kristoffer "Shauna Kelly" wrote: Hi Ale You have several options here, and you'll need to work out which is the best for your purposes.
