Cross-referencing bookmark between several external word document?
Hi,
I'm writing routines that are stored in seperate documents. I want the footer in the "routine document" to reference to a particular chapter in my "master" document (name of header and page number). Does anyone know how to cors-reference this kind of information between seperate documents? (I'm using Word 2007) Kindly, Mikael Lindqvist Sweden |

Cross-referencing bookmark between several external word document?
Hi Mikail,
I'm writing routines that are stored in seperate documents. I want the footer in the "routine document" to reference to a particular chapter in my "master" document (name of header and page number). Does anyone know how to cors-reference this kind of information between seperate documents? (I'm using Word 2007) It's a bit tricky... You set a bookmark in the document, around the text you want to reference. In the document where you want to see this text, use an IncludeText field (Insert tab on the Ribbon, Object button in the Text group, the Insert text from file command. Select the document containing the text you want to reference. Type the bookmark name in the "Range" field. Make sure to choose "Insert as link" from the menu next to the Insert button. Note that it is not possible to use the Cross-Reference functionality this way. You can only set a reference to text that actually exists in the other document. This means you'd need to insert a Page field in or near that Header. You can format it as "Hidden" so that it's not visible (bookmark it first). When you do this you'll have to edit the IncludeText field in two ways: 1. Add the \! Switch at the end of the field to prevent the included Page field from updating in context to this other document. 2. Add the \* CharFormat switch to the field to override the "Hidden" formatting coming across. (This switch forces the field to display in the format applied to the first character of the field code.)
