Cross references
In the previous version of Word when I inserted a cross reference it was
surrounded by a gray box making it easy to identify as a cross reference. In Word 2003 the cross references aren't in a shaded area and the only way to make them easily recognizable as a cross reference is to change the color of the cross referenced text. I can't find a fix. Do I need to enable an option or function somewhere to make this happen? I appreciate any help from anyone.-- stella |

Cross references
In Tools Options View, change the Field Shading dropdown to "Always".
This will affect all fields, not just cross-references. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. stella wrote: In the previous version of Word when I inserted a cross reference it was surrounded by a gray box making it easy to identify as a cross reference.

Cross references
Select Tools Options View tab. Set Field Shading to Always. Then you have
your gray shading back. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools €“ Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation €“ add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "stella" wrote: In the previous version of Word when I inserted a cross reference it was surrounded by a gray box making it easy to identify as a cross reference.

Cross references
Thank you so much. I was close---I checked field codes and then selected
"always"--got a bunch of field codes. It figures it was something simple. Thanks again. stella "Lene Fredborg" wrote: Select Tools Options View tab. Set Field Shading to Always.
