Change Text Format in Cross-References
I'm using cross-references in order to be able to have hyperlinks within my msw doc that are updatable. The thing is they don't look like common hyperlinks, because they aren't blue underlined pieces of text. So, what i want is to have cross-references text look like normal hyperlinks...I wonder if there is any way to achieve that, other that using macros.
Thanks in advance for any help. |

You can apply the Hyperlink character style, but you'll have to do it
manually. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne. This is not quite what I had in mind, because for an extensive document I'll have to create a Macro, but thanks anyway!

You wouldn't need a macro exactly, just a Find and Replace (assuming all
your cross-references are hyperlinked): 1. Press Alt+F9 to display field codes. 2. Press Alt+H to open the Replace dialog. 3. In the "Find what" box, type ^19 REF 4. In the "Replace with" box, type ^&. 5. Click More to expand the dialog. 6. Make sure the insertion point is still in the "Replace with" box, then click Format | Style, and select the Hyperlink style. 7. Replace All. -- Suzanne S.

Hi there! Unfortunately I'm not having success with your solution...I've done what you suggested but still the text appears without the hyperlink format. I've copied the reference and pasted it in a normal e-mail and it had the correct formatting! I tried to do this in a new doc, but still had no hyperlink format...I wonder if you have any suggestion to workaround this?

TOC and cross-reference hyperlinks do not have hyperlink formatting. If you
want them to look like Hyperlinks, you'll have to apply the Hyperlink character style manually. -- Suzanne S.
