Will not let me type in "for which" field on inserting cross-refer
I am trying to insert cross references into my document. I followed the
steps in http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...893761033.aspx, but when I get to the step where you type in "for which...." either page number or text, it will not let me type anything. I am using Windows Vista, Word 2007. What am I missing here? Thanks, Carla |

You don't type anything. You choose "Page number" or "Text," and the
cross-reference then returns either the page number of the bookmarked text or the text itself. -- Suzanne S.

It does nothing after I select "text"....like it's waiting for me to give it
more info. I am stuck. "Carla" wrote: I am trying to insert cross references into my document.

After you select "Text," click Insert. If "Insert" is disabled, that's
because you haven't selected anything in the "For which heading/numbered item/bookmark/etc." list. -- Suzanne S.

Will not let me type in "for which" field on inserting cross-r
It will not allow me to select anything in the "for which heading/etc" list.
There is nothing to select. What am I doing wrong? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: After you select "Text," click Insert.

Will not let me type in "for which" field on inserting cross-r
Does the document contain headings in any of Word's built-in heading styles?
If not, there will be nothing to select. If you don't have any headings, numbered items, footnotes, endnotes, figures, or tables (the latter labeled with captions created with Insert | Reference | Caption), then you are reduced to Bookmark, which requires that you have previously applied a bookmark to the text you want to cross-reference. -- Suzanne S.

Yes I do have headings, page numbers and footnotes. Not sure what the
problem is, but it won't give me anything to select. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Does the document contain headings in any of Word's built-in heading styles? If not, there will be nothing to select.

If you have headings (in the built-in heading styles) in the document, and
you have selected Heading as the reference type, then you should see a list of headings in the "For which" box. Same with footnotes. Page numbers are not something you can cross-reference; they are one of the choices of the result of the cross-reference. -- Suzanne S.
