Lower and uppercase for cross-references
Hi,
I have some cross-references for the tables in my text that are numbered in roman numbers and I would the first letter of the cross-reference to be in lower case but that the number (I, II, III, IV...) When I edit the field the choices that I have only permits me to have all in uppercase or lowercas. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? If yes can you let me know how. Thanks for your comments and help. Eric, |

Hi Eric,

When I edit the field the choices that I have only permits me to have all in uppercase or lowercas. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? If yes can you let me know how. I'm not certain I'm clear on what you want. Could you show us an example? And are you familiar with working directly with Word's field codes? (You use the phrase "edit the field", but I'm not sure you mean you're actually going into the REF field...)

Hi,
Thanks for replying. When I use some cross-references for my tables in the text they appear as: ....as seen in Table IV... I know that if I right-click on the cross-reference and then choose the "Edit field..." I can change the format of my cross reference to be in lowercase or uppercase..now what I would like to have is something like this: ....as seen in table IV... What I trying to do is to have the word "table" in lowercase and the roman numbers (I, II, III, IV...) in uppercase using the cross-references. Thanks for your help.

Hi Eric,
OK, I understand what you want. You can do it, but not the "easy way". Technically "Table IV" is a proper name, so one would expect it to appear in the text the same way as the label (with Table instead of table). There's no way to get Word to make this change for you automatically. What you can do is to select just the table number (it's an SEQ field) and assign a bookmark to it (tableIV for example). And then manually type "table", and finally, insert a cross-reference to the bookmark displaying "IV"). When I use some cross-references for my tables in the text they appear as: ....as seen in Table IV... I know that if I right-click on the cross-reference and then choose the "Edit field..." I can change the format of my cross reference to be in lowercase or uppercase..now what I would like to have is something like this: ....as seen in table IV... What I trying to do is to have the word "table" in lowercase and the roman numbers (I, II, III, IV...) in uppercase using the cross-references.
