Default change automatically the style/format of my references on book

Okay, that does work, but note that you have to apply the blue color and
underline as direct font properties; applying the Hyperlink style doesn't
work because Word still suppresses it. This is interestingly bizarre. You
can apply the Hyperlink style, and the text does not appear blue, yet when
you go to the Font Color palette to color it, the blue square is already
selected, and applying it makes no change, nor does applying Underline. Only
if you remove the Hyperlink character style and apply blue and underline
directly do you see any formatting. Weird!

But you could add the \* CHARFORMAT switch to prevent that from happening.

Moreover, the formatting will be removed when the fields are updated.

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.
