Cross-Ref to Excel Chart
When I insert a cross reference to the caption of a linked Excel chart, the
cross reference inserts the chart as well as 'Figure 6' or whatever. I can delete the chart from the cross reference, but when I print the document it comes back again. I can't see anything in the field codes causing this, though there is a /* MERGEFORMAT switch that I don't recognise I have a bunch of these linked charts in the document, and not all of them behave like this. It doesn't happen with spreadsheet data that I have linked to the Word doc, only the charts. |

Cross-Ref to Excel Chart
Word's cross-reference feature makes use of hidden bookmarks enclosing the
cross-referenced paragraphs (or parts of those paragraphs, depending on what you are referencing). The likely cause for the issues you are seeing is that you have added a new paragraph by pressing Enter at the beginning of some of the bookmarked paragraphs. This would cause the bookmark to expand, so that it includes the new paragraph as well as anything added to it. In the future, remember to always add a new paragraph by pressing Enter at the *end* of a bookmarked paragraph. You can cut and paste the charts back in, carefully making sure to insert paragraphs properly first. The task will be easier if you first show nonprinting marks; you can use Ctrl+Shift+8 (acts as a toggle). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "mcalex" wrote in message ...

a-ha, so that paragraph that Word inserts between the chart and the caption
when I insert a caption serves a purpose. I didn't like the caption being separated from the item (chart, table, whatever) and deleted it. Okies, I'll add it back, and instead change the font for the inserted para to .5 or something.

No, that's not necessary, and that's not what Graham was saying at all. The
point is that the chart and the caption need to be in separate paragraphs, and the paragraph you insert for the chart should not be inserted by pressing Enter at the beginning of the caption.
