Retaining formatting changes of cross-referenced bookmarks
I work with tables generated as a Word file by SAS, which does not have a
function comparable to the 'caption' function in Word. To create a list of these tables, I have bookmarked the titles and use a cross-reference to make a list of tables. Since the formatting in the SAS-generated file is not very attractive, I re-format the list of tables as I want it to appear. If I close the document, some of the formatting is lost, specifically, any changes I made to the bookmark text and tab sets. I turned off the automatic update on closing and on printing, but that doesn't seem to address the issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated. |

How do you create the bookmarks? Any formatting you are doing to the cross-references will be lost whenever you update the links. You could in theory lock the cross-reference fields, but then they loose pretty much what they're designed to do (update the page number when they should). You could assign the bookmark style to the table titles and then create a TOC from these styles.
