Why my cross-reference in WORD dont show up high-lighted in grey?
I have been using WORD2002 cross-refernce for figure/table captions
I dont know what I have chnaged but now ... 1. WORD crashes if I ask it tp update cross-ref ... instead i have to exit and opne again the document 2.the cross-ref dont show up with grey back ground any more 3.it seems that cros-ref is not a a single object any more e.g. i can dlelete F of "Figure#" corss-ref and leave it as "igure #" till the next time close/opne the docuemnt |

Possibly the cross-references have been unlinked. When you press Alt+F9, do
you see a REF field or still the same text? If the latter, then the fields have been unlinked. -- Suzanne S.

I checked, I can see the field codes by Alt+F9.
I just dont know why they dont have the grey background and why WORD lets me manually change for example TOC, which used to be locked previously "Suzanne S.

Okay, let's back up:
1. The display of field shading is set on the View tab of Tools | Options. You can select Always, Never, or When selected. 2. You can edit any field. If you edit the field results, then when you update the field, your changes will be undone. If you edit the field code, you can change the results (or you may break the field by introducing incorrect syntax). The TOC field is a good example of one that often requires editing to permit formatting that can't be selected from the TOC dialog; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TOCSwitches.htm. -- Suzanne S.
