cross reference problems
After a cross reference, when printing the document, sometimes a page breaks
right after the cross reference even while printing to PDF. If I use it as a hyperlink, it's even more likely to cause page breaks. |

cross reference problems
If you inadvertently inserted a manual page break within a cross-referenced
item, that would be reflected in the cross-reference as well. Avoid manual page breaks and use "Page break before" formatting whenever required. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cbemoras" wrote in message news After a cross reference, when printing the document, sometimes a page breaks right after the cross reference even while printing to PDF.

cross reference problems
Does this happen with a particular document, only, or can you reproduce it
in any document with cross-references? -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cbemoras" wrote in message ... I never do manual page breaks in my documents, the document looks fine until printed.

cross reference problems
It has happened with several documents randomly. I have to go in and take out
the cross reference in order for the document to print properly. Not all of the cross references, usually just one.

cross reference problems
I'm having similar problems (in Word 2007, using Windows XP). I've replaced
all the manual page breaks before headings with a "page break before" in the heading paragraph definition. But sometimes - usually only triggered by printing a page - a cross reference set to display just the heading wording will bring in the entire section of text that goes with the heading. I've tried deleting the offending x-ref entirely, double checking the format of the heading being referred to, and then re-inserting this. But problems continue to crop up.

cross reference problems
Make sure not to press Enter (or add text for that matter) at the beginning
of a cross-referenced paragraph; if you do you will add the paragraph mark (or text) inside the bookmark, which will cause cross-reference trouble. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "cturner08" wrote in message ...

cross reference problems
Does "at the beginning of a cross-referenced paragraph" in your note refer to
the heading (in my case) that I cross reference to? I've been through my document to check that all the paragraphs with Heading styles are truly one-line paragraphs. Is there some other way I should be checking for the source of the problem? Should I be able see problem paragraphs with all formatting codes revealed? I don't see any unexpected markings there. When the problem occurs on printing, it is usually the case that the first previously normal style paragraph after the referenced heading has now switched to heading style. But if I check that paragraph just before printing, it will look like, and be identified as "normal" style. Yesterday I deleted and re-created an offending cross reference several times. The first two, the problem re-occured when I tried to print the page. It hasn't (yet) come back again since the third time I re-created the X-ref. Thanks!

For a cross-reference to a heading, Word creates a hidden bookmark that encloses the heading, yes, and similarly for other items. To actually see such a hidden bookmark it isn't sufficient to display bookmarks in the document (unfortunately). What you can do is the following: Place the insertion point inside the bookmarked heading. Open the Bookmark dialog box (Insert | Bookmark). First click "Hidden bookmarks" (you'll see the names of all hidden bookmarks) and then click "Location," which will make Word select the bookmark. If this doesn't work, you could try closing and reopening the Bookmark dialog box; then Word should select the correct bookmark name in the dialog box. Click Go To to have Word select the bookmark.

cross reference problems
Thanks! I went through my entire list of hidden bookmarks and found two,
including the recently causing problems, that referred to an entire section of text, not just intended heading. So I deleted both of those. Not sure why other odd things seem to crop up on this list, but hopefully they don't matter. For example, there is one figure, caption combination for which a combined bookmark keeps cropping up (highlighting both the figure and caption), even though I have deleted and recreated the caption and the cross reference just to it. There are also some strange bookmarks starting with "Hlt_" that keep cropping up, primarily in this caption, highlighting just one letter or space. Thanks again. I definitely wouldn't have found the way to see these bookmarks on my own! "Stefan Blom" wrote: "cturner08" wrote in message ...

You are welcome, and thank you for the feedback.
