cross reference
I have hundreds of cross references in my document. Every time I update the
TOC, save the file, or convert it to PDF (all actions which update the references) the cross reference bounces to a new page. Please help! |

cross reference
Can you clarify? the point of using Word's cross-references is that it
doesn't matter if things wind up on different pages, since the cross-references update to match the new page. So *what* is the thing that is bouncing to a new page, and why is this creating a problem? Perhaps give a specific example. Also, please always state version of Word and OS.

cross reference
Hi, Daiya -
Thanks for responding! OS - Windows XP SP2 Word SP3: Microsoft Office Professional 2003 Let's assume I have table 1 on page 2. On page 1 I reference table 1 as follows; "see (crossref to table ) - [label and number]. After creating the crossref it looks fine, with the crossref embedded in the correct sentence. Then, when I update the document (Select all, F9), the crossref text 'bounces' either to a new line or to a new page. I tried applying different formats to the crossref but it still happens. Thanks for any help you can provide!

cross reference
If the cross-referenced items are preceded by manual page breaks, this is
probably causing the issue. The reason is that each cross-reference (REF) field depends on a hidden bookmark enclosing the cross-referenced item. And adding manual page breaks at the beginning of a bookmarked item causes the bookmark to expand, so that it includes the break, which will then be part of the cross-reference. To fix this issue: Delete any page breaks added at the beginning of the cross-referenced paragraphs, and use "Page break before" paragraph formatting instead. Then update the cross-references. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul Williams" wrote in message ... I have hundreds of cross references in my document.
