Default change automatically the style/format of my references on bookmarks.

One approach: you can use Find & Replace to format all the
cross-reference fields at once, instead of individually. To do so, go to
EditFind. Click More in the dialog. Enter ^19 REF in the Find box. Put
your cursor in the Replace field, then click on the Format drop-down
menu in the dialog, select Font, and apply the formatting you want to
the empty Replace box.

I think last time I shared these directions, there was a missing step,
but I can't remember it. You might need to hit alt-F9 to show Field
Codes first, before running the Find and Replace.

As always, whenever doing a Replace All, test ON A COPY.

This is a retroactive approach--it won't operate when you insert a
reference, it just changes them afterwards.

Hi all,

I am using references over bookmarks. It works fine, but the style of
the reference is not cool. The reference appear normal, and it is only
by moving the mouse on it that I can see that there is a link behind.
I get the text with "press CRTL+click to follow the link". I would
like theses references to look like hyperlinks. I can format the texte
like hyperlink myself, and check the option so that it is not changed
automatically when I update all the styles, but I would like it to be
done automatically, each time I insert a reference on a bookmark. How
can I do that ?

thank you,

Alexandre.

PS : I have been searching the newsgroups for this, and could not find
the answer.
