How to change font for cross-references
I have been a WORD user for years, but I still cannot work out how to make a
cross-reference appear as a link. When I create a cross-reference it just appears as normal text (unlike applying a hyperlink). Is this a default and somewhere you can opt for colored text and an underline? And what is the point of a x-ref that cannot be identified as a x-ref until you actually hover over it? Unless I am missing something really basic, that seems really stupid. |

How to change font for cross-references
Word is still geared toward print, in which a hyperlink is pointless and
hyperlink formatting (blue and underlined) is intrusive, so it suppresses the Hyperlink character style for hyperlinks in cross-references and TOCs. But see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/F...References.htm for workarounds. -- Suzanne S.
